Confessions of an Advertising Insider

No posting for quite a while now... Why? Didn't feel like it and also veeery full schedule these past two months...

But here we go again with this video on advertising, of course :), via ThoughtSpurs



Basically is the view of an advertising insider on the behind-the-scene life in ad agencies which supposed to be funny and relevant. Well, as far as I'm concerned, the facts are distorted and if an ad man really thinks this way he/she should seriously consider changing job, 'cause it's clear he/she won't do any good neither for his/her self-esteem, neither for the ad industry...

The advertising feeds itself with the souls of the whole ad crew and takes its juice from the (sometimes) overinflated ego of the creatives and the aspirational ambition of the planners. Stating that all that ad men do is stealing ideas from average joe is a great injustice for all the mental struggle used to find the best way to send a compelling and relevant message through...

Yes, advertising is inspired from the day to day life, but passionate, responsible professionals take all this to a whole new level making extraordinary out of the ordinary, bringing new perspective and added value to things. That's why everybody enjoys Nike advertising, or Sony Bravia or Diesel...

Come on, people, let's be honest and talk also about the SACRIFICE and RESPONSIBILITY behind a good communication campaign and about the real values and principles of this too long, too much overestimated and in the same time underestimated job...

Fuck you, you ignorant creatures!!!!! There's no fun here.
