BMF staff grow goatees to buy 148 goats for African orphans to become more self sufficient
During the month of August, the men of BMF grew goatees in an effort to raise money to buy goats for African orphans. The goats give the orphans an opportunity to generate income and become more self sufficient.
The charity is backed by Oxfam who will ensure the orphans get their goats along with a new start in life. There was great support across the agency, $4,858 was raised, enabling BMF to buy 148 goats.
“It’s a great cause that has an entrepreneurial spirit which westrongly identify with. Unlike the orphans we probably won’t be keepingour goatees although we did get some favourable comments.” says WarrenBrown (top right).
“Next August we hope to include more likeminded companies who like the idea and are happy to grow some bristlesand support a good cause.”

Time well spent.
How did the ladies raise money then?
Seriously, is that really newsworthy?
Nice idea. Gives them something they can own- though it is another Movember. Would like to see how this would work on a national scale.
I love goats. 2Gs
Dear anonymous (how is this newsworthy?),
Name one decent publication in the world that would not run a story about people raising money to helped disadvantaged kids?
I think somebody has a case of ‘I wish I wasn’t an anonymous woose’.
Imagine for a second the typical moaners on here.
Headline: ‘Someone got out of bed and ended up promoted’
Comments: ‘Oh fuck, is that newsworthy? Did you have to get out of bed? That’s so been done. Muppet. Fail. Wank. Ejaculation. Sperm.’

Well done BMF, at least you made a difference. Unlike these twats. Sorry, muppets.
Goatses and goats? Dear christ…
Good on ya guys!
Good idea, good execution.
We need to see more things like that
in our poor industry.
Nice to see advertising agencies thinking of others for once. Good on you BMF – always cutting edge.
Nice one Warren.
Still driving that dinky toy convertible from Mosman with the big rubber band under the bonnet?
