Ad Jungle Podcast

It was a busy, hung-over, day in the ad jungle.

My team produced an excellent radio campaign for one of our clients, 7-Eleven, that I’ll post here on Adverb once it airs later this month. It’s funny, funny stuff and it kills me to have to sit on it for a bit, but that’s the law of the jungle.

I also made an appearance in my agency’s podcast. Dieste Harmel & Partners produces a podcast, “LATINCAST,” that is the first (and only) of its kind: audio inside scoop on the industry from our own unique point of view. (Sort of like what I do here but on a vastly larger budget.)

If you’re interested in such things– and you should be– you can find it by running a search on iTunes for Dieste Harmel or you can download them from our web.mac.com repository.

Today’s podcast, “Hispanic Spots on the Spot,” is attached in the audio file below. In the podcast I, along with Alex Duplan (another Creative Director who also shoots spots on the side), Angel LaRiva (agency staff producer) and Aldo Quevedo (our agency’s Executive Creative Director), dissect the differences between shooting spots for the General Market and those for the Hispanic Market.

I know what you’re thinking: how could it get any more exciting? Would it help if I told you we were drunk and surrounded by strippers when we recorded it? If it does, that’s what happened. Honestly. I’m an ad monkey; I wouldn’t lie.

Fat Tuesday

Or Wednesday, at this point.

I’ve made some headway in tweaking the blog; I’ve added in-line audio/video capability and created a doorway to what will eventually become a large photo section.

Oh. And I’ve also managed to tie a few on with some fellow ad monkeys in honor of the dawning of Lent.

There’s noting quite like the impending wrath of The Church to make one (or five) drink to excess. (Though the effects do slow down the coding process a bit.)
