Since the 1980’s HR and Corporate speak has become more and more a bizarre concoction of over-complex gobbledegook designed to befuddle by its sheer verbosity whilst simultaneously saying next to nothing – and this is where the Wankernomics duo come in.

In an immensely funny hour framed as a staff meeting they skewer what some refer to at their work as “wank words” – or to use Wankernomics’ own terminology, give us a rare “outbreak of clarity.”

Using their key language deliverables and with an eye always firmly on their brand’s North Star fixitives, Wankernomics ensure that their audience – when not keeled over belly laughing – are highly attuned to the deliverability of this besuited language, moving forward.

Or – in real terms – they point out how farcical and meaningless a lot of corporate speak can be and are very funny whilst doing so.

Perfect for anyone who’s ever been involved in any kind of corporate environment – and the hilarity of those audience members who obviously still were was palpable.
