But when an agency turns the spotlight on itself rather than the client, I start to get a little nervous.<br /><br />A) You can only stay "hot" for so long, and B) you can only steal the spotlight for so long before your clients walk.<br /><br />PS: Their Orville ad isn't very good at all.Olivier Blanchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474911301939566387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-59006232373543108412007-01-31T13:37:00.000-05:002007-01-31T13:37:00.000-05:00sorry, my comment was referring to the bogusky sep...sorry, my comment was referring to the bogusky separated at birth post...HighJivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372784671087002387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-87227342768747942022007-01-31T11:43:00.000-05:002007-01-31T11:43:00.000-05:00Whereas Bogusky bears an uncanny resemblance to so...Whereas Bogusky bears an uncanny resemblance to someone else.<br /><br /><a href="http://tangerinetoad.blogspot.com/2007/01/separated-at-birth_30.html">Check it out</a>Alan Wolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911841405348126875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-65690900338982351222007-01-31T11:37:00.000-05:002007-01-31T11:37:00.000-05:00chuck porter bears an uncanny resemblance to a typ...chuck porter bears an uncanny resemblance to a typical child molester.HighJivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372784671087002387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-85924957265326189222007-01-31T10:28:00.000-05:002007-01-31T10:28:00.000-05:00So where's my link Parker ;)
You know the holding...So where's my link Parker ;)<br /><br />You know the holding companies are indirectly to blame for the state of ad journalism these days too. Since most players are working for an agency that's beholden to some giant holding company, they're pretty loathe to say anything the least bit controversial and the BDAs themselves pretty much do anything they can to keep the names of actual people out of the press. When your name is on the door however, you can be a lot more open with the press.<br /><br />Marino: I don't think CPB is anywhere near "sucking" these days. Yeah, they've done some stuff that makes me cringe (the Haggar print, with its rich-college-boy-trying-to-imitate-blue-collar-worker constructions, for instance)most of what they do is still head and shoulders above the rest of the industry. And just like baseball, nobody bats 1.000.<br />Seriously, wouldn't you rather see them try and fail than not try at all?Alan Wolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911841405348126875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8106820546854003223.post-18728422766728703452007-01-31T07:35:00.000-05:002007-01-31T07:35:00.000-05:00Chiat: how big can we get before we suck?
