Are you an advertiser in the Thai rip-off version of Modern Design Magazine that has already been published in Spain?
How many copies have you been told by Michael Earle Architect and / or Sidekick Trish are printed and distributed?
You see, we know from our painful experience with the magazine in Spain that Binky and trish succumbed quite quickly to the obvious rip-off ploy of claiming that many more copies of the magazine were distributed than actually were and embezzling the advertising revenue accordingly.
Easy money (which, of course, is Binky's favourite kind of money).
The media pack for Modern design Magazine magazine in Thailand quite clearly states that 10,000 copies are printed and distributed.
Well, we beg to differ. Have a look at the print quote we have come across (we have hidden the details of the printer), signed by Trisha Miller. Also note that it states "Quantity requested".
Now, why would Trish request a print-run of only 5,000 copies and not the full 10,000 copies? Perhaps they were thinking of having the magazine printed in 2 batches so they could lose out on the substantial economies of scale you get with printed goods? Let's face it, their thieving actions have constantly proved that money matters too much to them to do anything the expensive way round, so this is highly unlikely. So why only 5,000 copies...?
5,000 copies, not the 10,000 copies claimed by our slightly dishonest heroes.
But what have they told their advertisers?
If you are advertising in Modern Design Magazine then protect your investment - make sure you have Mike and Trish prove to you - PROVE TO YOU - that they are producing what you are paying for.
We wish you all good luck with your enterprises.

ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving the comment นักสืบ ไทย
ReplyDeleteWe will see if we can work out what it says
Interesting. According to google translate it says
ReplyDelete"I do not see the magazine in March"
Of course, that doesn't mean the magazine is not out, but it's not looking good is it?
If not now, next month, but the day will arrive. The day when Michael Earle runs to elsewhere with the advertisers money, owing another quantity to printers...And when that day comes, we'll see some comments here...like: I should had take your advice more seriously...
ReplyDeleteSo have they been fired or what? And by who is the question I thought it was HIS company no?
ReplyDeleteWell Anonymous, our sources have told us that it was the investors in Modern Zen who ultimately owned the company and it was these people who fired them.
ReplyDeleteWe think our sources are telling the truth and we have spìes who are keeping their eyes open for a lanky, silver-haired American pretending to be an architect whilst delivering newspapers...
...so if he's still around we'll find out about it!
If he's not, of course, we wish the remains of Modern Zen the very best of luck in their new, honest, integral, transparent affairs...getting rid of the rot that is Binky and Sidekick can only help them in the long run
I can confirm that Mr Earle and ms Miller no longer repersent in any way shape or form Modern Zen and that Im led to believe a case is being sort which will see them in the Thai courts in the not to distance future for fraud
ReplyDeleteLets hope Thai courts are more effective than Spanish, then.
