Stephen Fry has hit back at “shiny faced, arse witted” Telegraph journalist Tim Walker after he published a blog questioning whether Fry writes all of his own tweets.

In Walker’s blog, published on Friday morning, he described watching Fry in conversation with Andy Serkis in a restaurant while apparently tweeting at the same time.

“It has always been taken for granted that the actor, writer and ‘wit’ writes all his own musings about life himself, but I spied him at The Wolseley restaurant in St James’s on Thursday, deep in conversation with Andy Serkis, the actor, who starred as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

“I can’t be absolutely sure,” he went on, “but it appears that Fry was emitting ‘tweets’ as he spoke to Serkis.”

However, Fry responded to the allegation in a colourful blog post, claiming some of his charity tweets were pre-prepared in consultation with the charity to enable them to deal with the sudden burst of website traffic his six million plus following can produce and ensure style and tone was correct.

“My PA went to extreme lengths, when this creep from the inner ring of Satan’s rectum called ‘to check the facts’ (HA!) to explain that, as is clearly stated on my website, I will often tweak the wording of a charity tweet that I am asked to make if it’s a bit stilted or not in my style but otherwise - every day, on my diary, through the magic of syncing - there will be some tweet reminders for me placed there, naturally after I have been consulted and have approved the charity or cause.

“@ThatTimWalker, this sneering and disgusting insult even to the reeking heap of disgraced ordure that is the British press, was told all this very clearly and patiently by my distressed PA who, knowing the British print media, was all too aware that this noxious boll-weevil would go ahead and print insinuating drivel whatever she said.”

While Walker made no mention of seeing Fry with a phone at the restaurant, Fry insisted the Telegraph journalist had watching him take his phone out to tweet during his conversation with Serkis.

“Indeed, apprised of the truth, he still managed to extrude a semi-literate gossipy turd about seeing me at a meeting with Andy Serkis and witnessing me taking out my phone and tweeting,” Fry continued.

“I was complying with two charity tweets that my diary alarm pinged me to make. If I’m late, the charities might waste money that they have paid to whoever is hosting their server cluster so that it can take the extra traffic. That wouldn’t occur for a second to a (clearly digitally illiterate) gossip-monger.

“No, no. From this he hopes his pitiful readership will infer that I am not master of my own twitter account but somehow in hoc to … to whom? We can be completely exact about what happened when he was at the same restaurant as me and watched me tweeting.”

Fry went on to describe Walker as a “human cockroach” and recounted an incident with Peter Hitchens and Christopher Hitchens’ memorial service in April last year after Walker claimed in his blog that he’d “even buttonholed the journalist Peter Hitchens and then tweeted a rude comment about him.”

The tweet – “The sad element was Peter Hitchens, thought bro might have at least a 10th of the wit, charm & intelligence. Just a joyless Daily Mail clod.” – was later deleted by Fry.

“Walker concludes his vicious little paragraph firstly by telling an outright lie: that I ‘buttonholed’ my dear friend Christopher Hitchens’s brother at the luncheon after Christopher’s memorial service in New York,” Fry retorted.

“Not true. I could see Peter Hitchens in the doorway of the Waverly Inn, standing utterly alone (as he does intellectually, morally and socially amongst his brother’s friends) and, taking pity, I just came up to chat. He responded so rudely, so vilely and with such lack of human decency, that I couldn’t but tweet at the extreme difference between two products of the same parents. Probably a misjudgement on my part. I make many.

“But then Peter Hitchens is proportionately as joyless and unlovable a person as his so deeply missed brother was joyful and loveble and I was upset at such charmless rudeness. And I was, I freely admit, a little drunk. Which is just what Christopher would have wanted me to be.”

But then the story took a further twist when Peter Hitchens responded to Fry’s comment in his Mail On Sunday blog on Friday, where he described Fry’s behaviour at the service as “boorish” and refuted Fry’s claim that he’d been “standing utterly alone” when the incident happened.

“The idea that Mr Fry wanted to show ‘pity’ for me is absurd, especially given his obvious sensitivity to criticism, demonstrated by the whole piece in which this passage occurs,” wrote Hitchens.

“And so he appeared without warning, forced his company on me when he could easily have guessed it wasn’t wanted, interrupted my conversation, introduced himself as if I mightn’t know who he was (such modesty), and said, as I recall, that he thought we probably disagreed. I confirmed this, and said quite evenly and without rancour that I knew who he was, and that I didn’t like the way he behaved. He wanted to know why not. I told him.

“As for being ‘joyless and unlovable’,”he concluded. “I’ll leave that to those who know me best to decide. I can only say that I was not overjoyed to have Mr Fry’s company forced on me, and that I was not in any way seeking his love, let alone hoping to charm him. That does not necessarily mean that I am joyless and unlovable, nor even that I am charmless. I may be all of these things, but Stephen Fry wouldn’t ever know.

Fry and Walker then thrashed it out, appropriately, on Twitter.

@ThatTimWalker I didn't "buttonhole" Peter Hitchens, you repulsive waste of skin, I took pity on him because he was alone. He spat back bile

.@stephenfry I guess there is a lesson here for all of us. Don't drink too much at memorial services and upset the relations of the deceased

— Tim Walker (@ThatTimWalker) September 20, 2013

.@ThatTimWalker “The only true relations are the ones you choose.” And if you think that’s the only lesson! Sheesh! There really is no hope…

.@stephenfry How about lunch?On me.You just got me a lot of followers. Guess now I'm going to have to think of something interesting to say

— Tim Walker (@ThatTimWalker) September 20, 2013

@ThatTimWalker I don’t hate you, and lunch much well be charming but I’m rehearsing every week day till I fly to NYC for 12th Night… in NYC?

The Daily Mail came out on top of a bidding war for the serialisation of Gordon Brown’s former spin doctor Damian McBride’s memoir after offering at least £130,000, according to reports.

According to the Guardian, the closest bid to the Daily Mail came from its sister paper, the Mail on Sunday, at just under £100,000, while the Sun and Telegraph are thought to have tabled bids in the region of £50,000. The Guardian offered less than £10,000.

The book, Power Trip: A Decade of Policy, Plots and Spin, details the smear campaign tactics employed by McBride and his relationship with the media. Managing director of publisher Biteback, Iain Dale, said the book was a political sensation equal to that of Lord Peter Mandelson’s memoirs.

Chris Boffey, former news editor of the Observer, Sunday Telegraph and the Mirror and onetime special adviser to the Labour government, said McBride was known to political journalists as "McNasty" or "McPoison" and said the book had come at the "worst possible time" for the Labour party.

Meanwhile, current Labour leader Ed Miliband – who apparently receives little mention in relation to McBride’s underhand tactics in the book – said on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show on Sunday morning that he’d tried to convince former prime minister Gordon Brown to sack McBride over his behaviour and said his tactics were “not my kind of politics”.

The book is due to be released on Wednesday 25 September.

Lloyds Bank has rebranded from Lloyds TSB, with a new TV advert having gone live in an attempt to revitalise the brand on the high street.

The resulting marketing campaign, involving Rufus Leonard, RKRC/Y&R, Proximity and MEC, began roll out during the first episode of the latest series of Downtown Abbey on ITV last night (Sunday 22 September.)

The move to drop TSB from the commercial bank's branding will roll out across its network of 1,300 branches in England and Wales and be supported through poster in branch.

Catherine Kehoe, brand and marketing director for Lloyds Bank, said that the revitalisation of the 250 year old brand was one that it could be proud of.

“This is our chance to offer customers something different by focusing on the moments that really matter in life, whether that is helping our customers buy a first home or helping grow their business. We can do this because we have worked hard to ensure our revitalisation will focus on the needs of people and businesses of Britain," she added.

The rebrand follows the announcement made by Lloyds Banking Group earlier this month to split Lloyds Bank and TSB, although customers will be able to use both banks for everyday banking services in the interim.

Apple has moved to introduce a new iteration of its app store designed specifically for the use of youngsters who make use of its devices.

The Kids App Store follows the launch of iOS7 and is not a separate mobile application, but rather a ‘Kids’ subsection of the existing app store which breaks down apps into three age ranges; five and under, between six and eight and nine and 11.

This follows efforts by Apple to broaden its appeal to younger demographics, principally by allowing children aged 13 and under to sign up for an iTunes account should this be done through their school.

Apps designed for use by children are subject to stringent guidelines which bar developers from asking for personal information or from transmitting such data without parental consent.

Other changes introduced by the Californian tech giant include removal of the ‘Genius’ feature in favour of apps ‘Near Me’.

The Daily Mirror is seeking to position itself as a ‘smarter’ alternative to The Sun with the launch of a poster campaign spoofing the topless page 3 models for which the rival red top has become famous.

Supplanting its typical page 3 layout for a full page ad publisher Trinity Mirror has reproduced a shot of a naked model reclining in a bath with two strategically placed elbows.

Below this arresting image the strapline ‘We're not like other tabloids’ is printed alongside the hashtag #Madeyouthink.

Not everyone has taken to the good humoured campaign with gusto however with Transport for London opting to ban the posters from the Underground.

It follows a growing campaign for The Sun to ditch its controversial feature although thus far the Murdoch owned tabloid has refused to budge, claiming a majority of its readers support it.

This follows a revamp of both the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror over the weekend, both of which now employ a more conservative colour palette.

A TV campaign, designed by Quiet Storm to dovetail with the posters, will launch at the end of the week.

BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten has called for the number of senior BBC managers to be more than halved from 2.5 per cent of the workforce today to just 1 per cent by 2015 and a move away from ‘sky high commercial rewards’.

The comments were made in the aftermath of an awkward inquisition by members of parliament over the broadcaster’s excessive executive pay and follow similar remarks made by director general, Tony Hall.

Speaking yesterday at the Prix Italia in Turin, he said: "There are still too many senior managers, around 2.5% of the workforce at the last count. I'd like to see this cut to more like 1% by 2015 at the latest to create a smaller group of people more clearly accountable for spending the licence fee.

"It has been, and will continue to be, a painful process, but it is necessary if we are to secure public confidence.

“Licence fee payers don't expect the BBC to pay sky-high commercial rewards to people who work for a public service. They do expect the BBC to deliver the highest quality programmes and services."

Separately Hall has called for a ‘bonfire of the boards’ in a bid to tackle red tape; after citing the move to launch the BBC’s first eBook, a single decision which involved no fewer than a dozen managers.

The moves follow agreement of a 2011 programme to slash management numbers from 640 to 220 by 2015.

Blippar has today launched an updated version of their app, Blippar 1.5, with new features including a refreshed in-app catalogue and integration with Facebook and Twitter.

The new social sharing tool will allow Blippar users to log in to Facebook and Twitter through the app. Users can now like or comment on blipps via Facebook, as well as share links to their favorite blipps on their Facebook profile page or via Twitter.

Ambarish Mitra, CEO of Blippar, said: “Blippar leads the way in building unique and engaging visual discovery campaigns that delight both users and brands alike, and our new update really delivers on both.

"We’ve listened to the requests from our clients and feedback from users, and have added new features and improved existing ones such as 3D modelling, gestures, and accelerometer capabilities. With an enhanced look and feel, these updates provide a more engaging platform for brands and advertisers to communicate with their target audiences.”

Available on Android, iOS, and BlackBerry Z10, version 1.5 will also enable advanced tracking capabilities and user analytics.

Tesco has today announced the launch of its own brand tablet, Hudl, which features a seven inch HD screen, with an advertising campaign by W&K to begin on 7 October.

Costing £119, the tablet will come in four colours and will feature 16 GB, running Android 4.2.2 with Tesco apps on top.

Tesco designed and built the tablet as part of its multichannel approach, with the Tesco apps featured including Blinkbox movies and TV, music and Clubcard TV - which offers free films and TV programmes exclusively for Clubcard holders, banking and shopping for groceries, clothing, homeware and more.

Tesco Chief Executive, Philip Clarke, commented: “Hudl is a colourful, accessible tablet for the whole family to enjoy. The first stage in our tablet offering, it’s convenient, integrated and easy to use with no compromise on spec. Customers are quite rightly very discerning about the technology they buy so we knew we had to be competitive on all fronts.

“Being online is an increasingly essential part of family life and whilst tablets are on the rise, usage is still quite limited. We feel the time is right for Tesco to help widen tablet ownership and bring the fun, convenience and excitement of tablets to even more customers across the UK. The digital revolution should be for the many, not for the few.”

Hudl will be available to buy in store and online from 30 September.

CBS Outdoor UK has launched a new project allowing Westfield London shoppers to ‘tap’ their Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled smartphones against a CBS digital pod to download content, including Rizzle Kicks new track, and enter competitions.

NFC allows devices to connect with each other or other NFC-enabled tiles by bringing them in close contact, or ‘tapping’. The GSMA, an association of mobile operators and related companies, predicts that there will be 500 million NFC devices by 2014 and 78 per cent of points of sale tills will be NFC-ready by 2017.

As such, CBS Outdoor devised a campaign with Universal Music UK’s media agency TED@MediaCom ahead of a wider consumer education programme on NFC technology. To promote Rizzle Kicks new album, the branded digital pod has encouraged fans to simply tap their phones against the advert, or scan the QR code, to download the group’s new exclusive track with a link to buy their second album.

Other campaigns being run over the next two weeks have involved brands like Time Out. Shoppers can tap to enter and win a trip to Morocco, courtesy of Time Out; tap to download Time Out’s London mobile app; or tap to receive a free digital music album courtesy of Westfield Presents Emerging Icons.

CBS Outdoor is also running a ‘tap to play’ brand-based quiz, and a ‘tap to win’ competition, as well as a ‘tap to cook’ campaign where users can download recipes from Masterchef winner Lisa Faulkner

"What differentiates this NFC experience is the continuity of engaging content on the CBS Outdoor UK landing page,” said Jason Cotterrell, managing director at CBS Outdoor UK. “We will always strive to provide entertaining, useful content, regardless of what campaigns we're running and partners we're working with.”

From mid-October following the Westfield project, CBS Outdoor UK will accompany the NFC showcase with a far-ranging NFC consumer education programme via posters on National Rail, the London underground and digital pods at Westfield, to educate consumers on how to use their NFC enabled devices.

Table19 has added three senior hires to its creative team, following the hiring of Graham Wall as executive creative director in April.

Paul Reading joins the agency from Savvy as head of art, having previously held the role of art director at Leo Burnett, D’Arcy, Rapp and Rapier. In his new role, he will oversee a team of three art directors.

They're a young, dynamic agency with a great client list which presents lots of interesting opportunities, for both myself and the team. Having worked with Graham before, I know that the emphasis he puts on demanding simple, brilliant ideas will push the agency on to even bigger things.”

Mailie Lee joins the agency as creative services manager from M&C Saatchi, and has been tasked to drive a proactive approach to creative development across the agency.

Paul McDermid has been appointed head of design, joining from the role of design director at G2 Joshua. He will be responsible for Table19’s design team and the studio.

Morphy Richards has announced the appointment of Savvy Marketing following a three way pitch.

The small domestic appliance company asked the three agencies to create a proposition, key art visuals and marketing collateral to demonstrate brand positioning and product benefits for a new collection due for launch within the near future.

Rod Burrows, marketing and consumer engagement centre director at Morphy Richards, said: “Savvy stood out from the competition – they demonstrated a great understanding of our business and what we wanted to achieve. They responded to our brief with an intelligent strategy demonstrated through creative and backed up with a thorough understanding of retailer and shopper insight.”

He added that Savvy will be responsible with assisting Morphy Richards with brand planning and development to ensure it is consistent with its strategy. Savvy will also be helping with marketing communications planning, including creating and producing tactical pieces and fulfilment for specific requirements.

“With over 90 per cent of all British households owning a Morphy Richards appliance, the brand is a well-loved national favourite,” said Catherine Shuttleworth, founder and CEO of Savvy Marketing. “We’re really pleased to have been appointed – we pride ourselves on developing great concepts that produce solid results for our clients. We’re delighted that Morphy Richards have the confidence in us to deliver.”

Savvy had been invited to pitch for the account.

Nissan has today launched a 12 month partnership with Sky Media, in a deal devised by Manning Gottlieb and featuring creative by TBWA\London.

Promoting the new Micra, the sponsorship will span Sky Living HD, E! Entertainment and Style channels, and looks to target a young ‘Go Get It’ female audience by aligning the Micra with programmes such as Elementary, Hannibal and upcoming series The Blacklist.

Glenn Burchnall, account director at Manning Gottlieb OMD, said: “This is an exciting year for the New Nissan Micra and the partnership with Sky Media allows us to engage at scale, frequency and in exactly the right context to showcase exactly what the new car has to offer to our audience.”

The campaign, which features athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who finished in fifth place at the World Championships last month, will include the chance to win prizes including a trip to New York.

The partnership will also extend to digital display advertising and interactive competitions on the Sky Living Website, with digital creative by DNA.

“We’re excited to launch the new Micra and believe the partnership with Sky Living, E! Entertainment and Style channels will provide the perfect platform to reach and continually engage with our target ‘Go Get It’ female customers,” Guillaume Masurel, Nissan GB marketing director, said.

The Micra campaign is also set to feature in national press supplements, weekly lifestyle and celebrity magazines.

Tesco today unveiled its own-brand tablet computer, Hudl, 10 years after it launched Tesco Mobile. Will supermarkets own the future of retail?

Creative digital agency Maynard Malone has unveiled an infographic looking at the future of FMCG, with mobile commerce expected to double next year.

In total, retail searches from tablets have gone up by 12 per cent.

Costume drama fans have voiced their anger over the volume and duration of adverts during the latest season opener of ITV’s Downton Abbey.

No less than 23 minutes of the 90 minute long period show were dedicated to commercial breaks, prompting one critic to rename the hit show ‘Downton Addy’.

Despite the off putting nature of its broadcast the episode nevertheless pulled in a record audience, becoming the most watched drama of the year so far with a peak audience of 10.5m and average audience of 9.5m.

Armchair critics took to Twitter to voice their frustrations with one wryly observing: ‘continuous adverts with the occasional interruption from Downton Abbey", while another joked they were ‘quite enjoying the little snippets’ of the show.

An ITV spokesperson maintained that the episode contained no more ad breaks than was normal in a 90 min slot.

Online dating website Cupid has revealed an 18 per cent increase in marketing spend to £27.4m for the first half of 2013 as it sets its sights on rebuilding its brands.

The site, which disposed of a number of "casual" assets in July to Grendall Investments for £45.1m, revealed half year results this morning (24 September), which included a 12.4 per cent increase in revenue to £43.3m and a gross profit margin, reported at 17 per cent.

The assets disposed of, included sites BeNaughty, Flirt, CheekyLovers, WildBuddies, Click&Flirt and QuickFlirt and their international equivalents, which were described as "distractions" by Bill Dobbie, CEO of Cupid.

However, Cupid has retained sites Cupid, GirlsDateForFree, UniformDating, MatureDatingUK, IndianDating, Serencontrer DatingforParents and Canoodl and will now enter "a transition period" explained Dobbie.

He continued: "We have a strong, differentiated strategy in place, which we firmly believe will benefit both shareholders and product users, and are focused on delivering this. We are now reinvesting our considerable experience and expertise in developing our portfolio of brands based around a distinctive positioning and the quality of the customer experience. We expect to deliver a stronger financial performance in 2014 from the foundation of a leaner more focused organisation."

Following the disposal, marketing investment increased to £9.4m, with £3.1m invested in AGL and Uniform Dating.

Going forward, it was revealed that the company plans to broaden it marketing, placing less emphasis on online affiliate-based marketing and more on offline marketing, PR and SEO.

Microsoft has been in talks with London-based agencies over the past week to gauge a deeper understanding of marketers’ requirements, which it will then feed back into its next ad platform iterations.

Speaking to The Drum, Greg Nelson, general manager of display advertising at Microsoft, said the internet giant had "closed the door” on the era of online banners and buttons, and was instead inviting agencies to work more closely with it to create rich, cross-device experiences that aid, rather than protrude on, consumers’ digital journeys.

“We are moving into era where we can connect consumers and marketers in the right way at the right time, as a result of our data insight, rather than bombarding them with ads. It will be a long time yet before that kind of untargeted, unhelpful advertising is fully over, but we won’t be the ones driving it, we will be trying to drive beyond it,” he said.

Nelson said Microsoft was now aiming to “reinvent advertising”, and it was this new way of connecting marketers and consumers more seamlessly and less intrusively, which has been the subject of its talks with agencies in the capital this past week, according to Nelson.

“What is the future of advertising and monetisation? This is what we are here to discuss with some of our key agencies and clients to get their vision of the future and share our ideas, keeping the dialogue going as we are at that stage in our planning cycle for the next ad platform releases, where we will want to go pretty deep with large agencies and advertisers to understand what brings value to the market.

“We are seeing increasing convergence of search and display, and the various, more siloed experiences we have had from different services are now coming together.

"You see in Windows 8 and even more in Windows 8.1– this rich canvas on which marketers can paint. We’re trying to connect the dots along the consumers' decisions and journeys – to understand the needs different people have and where they are in trying to accomplish the tasks they need to in their lives – then find the appropriate way to connect them to brands and marketer experiences at the right moment,” he said.

Microsoft has been developing a “semantic” search experience for the past year, creating an alternative search experience to a list of blue links. This is being manifested particularly well on its tablet devices using Windows 8.1, with Bing serving images and information beyond the blue links that have traditionally formed the bedrock of search marketing.

“The search experience is not just about blue links anymore. We can now create a rich canvas using thumbnails and curating key terms to serve different kinds of information beyond just the links, giving people the same experience across all devices.

“If I type a commercial search term that then becomes an interesting marketer opportunity. We believe we can reinvent not just search but the way things are done around it,” he added.

Also speaking to The Drum, Owen Sagness, Microsoft’s new general manager for advertising and online for the UK, said the business had reached an “inflection point”, which has interesting implications for its advertising strategy.

“We are moving from being a software company to one that sells an integrated stack of devices and services. You can see that in what we have done with the Surface and the proposed purchase of Nokia. And we think it’s therefore particularly important for consumers to have that integrated offering,” he said.

Market trends are leading towards a “continuous monetisation” approach in which Microsoft is itself becoming more “joined up” to help deliver, according to Sagness.

“We are seeing more consumers use multiple devices and we can create rich experiences for the marketers that want to reach those consumers across all those devices. We can connect that up to what they may be able to do in a retail store for example.

“Once you get consumer in-store we can use our back-end tech to create immersive experiences. So for example if you want to remodel your kitchen, we can create an experience where someone can take a picture of it, put on the Xbox, perhaps use the smartglass technology to manipulate the image, so you maybe end up with a half-finished design.

"You then take it into a retailer, load it up on their system and work with an agent there, complete the transaction in-store, and then store the buyer’s preferences and store that in the back end so you can close the loop in terms of how you continue the relationship with that consumer. So Microsoft is becoming much more joined up – up and down the stack and across the devices.

Sagness replaced former general manager for the UK Andy Hart, who was promoted to VP of Europe this summer. Previously Hart told The Drum the marketing industry needed to “take responsibility” and avoid bombarding people with advertising across all devices, or risk “consumer revolt”.

Channel 4 has hit the headlines with its unconventional format for a new TV show, locking amorous couples up in a sound proofed wooden box before dissecting the goings on via a question and answer session.

To be screened next month sex box will see three couples have sex in the studio before answering intimate questions from a ‘sex panel’ and the studio audience.

Ostensibly conceived in order to fight the rise of pornography, improve relationships and promote ‘fearless communication’.

Morality campaigners have taken a different view however, believing it to be nothing more than a lurid stunt geared toward luring in viewers, although no nudity will be shown.

Presented by Mariella Frostrup the show forms part of Channel 4’s ‘Real Sex Season’ whose highlights include a documentary on teenage pornography addiction.

Those taking part include a pair of childhood sweethearts who are now engaged, two gay men in their 30s and a young couple said to be in the ‘first flush of love’.

Carphone Warehouse has unveiled a musical experience as part of its Smarter World proposition.

As part of the project, four classical musicians were brought together, all of whom use smartphones and tablets in their lives to make elements of learning, creating, practicing and performing music easier, such as reading sheet music on an iPad and using metronome and tuning apps.

Adjust Your Set, the digital content agency, worked with the brand to develop the work before it was performed live to a dance music crowd in Shoreditch. The agency also helped create a series of videos, which are now online.

Chris Gorell Barnes, founder and CEO at Adjust Your Set, said: “This new project sprung from the Carphone Warehouse proposition of Smarter World – through the use of smart tech, creating something truly innovative in the music arena. The worlds of music and smart tech have already fused and this experience was a live demonstration of that. The videos capture the essence and power of the project and should inspire and fully engage the audience online.”

Targeted at Guardian readers, both classical and dance music fans, and those interested in the tech and gadget world, five videos have been created: one main brand film, three interviews with the musicians involved and one interview with the DJ, Darren Sangita. The videos will be available on the Guardian online.

“The music scene is already enriched by smarter technology, and we wanted to demonstrate how tablets and the latest smartphone technology is helping to contribute to a Smarter World,” Gareth Jones, head of online marketing at Carphone Warehouse, explained. “Adjust Your Set has done a brilliant job of telling the story of this project, bringing it to life for our audience through intelligent, well produced content.”

A further Smarter World campaign will run until the end of 2013.
