MY VERY BEST FRIEND THE POET SJONES TURNS TO ME OFTEN TO ASK, "WHO IN THE HELL ARE THEY TRYING TO REACH WITH THAT AD?" "SAD TO SAY," I REPLY, "NOT THE POETS, NOT THE ARTISTS, NOR ANYONE WITH AN OUNCE OF CREATIVITY." TOO BAD! MOST AGENCY 'CREATIVES' SOLD THEIR SOULS TO GET THE JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT IS NOT ABOUT CREATIVITY. IT IS NOT ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE NEWS. IT IS NOT EVEN ABOUT SPORTS. IT IS, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN ABOUT MOVING PRODUCT. BRANDING NEW PRODUCTS. REBRANDING OLD PRODUCTS...ALL THE SAME. THE ADVERTISERS, THE AGENCIES, AND THE CONSUMERS ARE ALL ON THE SAME TREADMILL. DID YOU EVER SEE THE MOVIES "METROPOLIS" OR "BRAZIL"?
