This could also be the welcome letter at the world’s best creative agencies.

^^ I disagree. I hope nobody claims their “life’s work” to be anything related to advertising. And yes, I work in advertising.

  • Client: Yes! Social media is important!! We need a summer Facebook promotion!! Show us what you got!!
  • Us: Here it is... It's awesome!!!
  • Client: It is awesome! But we like this part of this idea, and that part of that idea, plus our goals are changing.
  • Us: Ok... Here's the answer to that!
  • Client: Just kidding, we're changing direction again.
  • Us: Ok... We'll wait for more info.
  • Client: Here's more info! How about this really terrible, plain vanilla idea? What can you do with that?
  • Us: Um... We can do... Sampling?
  • Client: No, sampling is too difficult. We don't like shipping product.
  • Us: Ok. Hang on. We'll be back with something ELSE that uses the budget we've been talking about for months.
  • (Many rounds of internal revisions later...) Us: Tada!!!
  • Client: This is awesome! It's on brand, on strategy, we love it! But... We're going through some budget scrubbing. We might not be able to spend money on a summer promotion. We need to figure out where social media fits in our priority list.

Bridget: “Isn’t it interesting how if you put a different ephasis on words in a sentence it can mean something TOTALLY different? Have you ever said a sentence and empasised each word just to see what it sounds like? Like:

WHAT are you doing?”

“What ARE you doing?”

“What are YOU doing?”

“What are you DOING?”

Sam: *Stares with 5 second silence* “No Bridget.”

Amazing! Someone I know comes to mind ;)

Bahahahahahaaaa!!! YES.

you woke up at midnight like a baker, at 3 o’clock like a fisherman, at 4:30 am like a newsagent, at 5:45 like a lorry driver, and they ask you when you are getting back to work.

Isn’t a mother’s life hard? Leave the soft side to your baby.

If the majority of spending power in the U.S. is in the hands of women, how is it that men have most power over advertising?

Micromanaging breeds creatives who question their talent. Which calls for some serious micromanaging.
