Thanks, all! Good ol' 2nd-round draft pick Night King really came through. Strange season, but you all made it super fun.

A Team Has No Name...but is about to have a hell of a lot of points.

No one wants to scroll through a gallery of 60 examples when 30-40 will make the point just as well. But we'll fire the intern and send you our savings so that you can buy a semicolon.

We actually discuss this in our Adweek podcast.

Yeah I mention that in the story: "Since that event at the Mexico City Olympics, no athlete in the games has matched—much less beaten—his distance (though fellow U.S. athlete Mike Powell did technically set a new world record at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics by jumping 2 inches farther than Beamon)."

Re: What Non-Olympic Sponsor Businesses Can't Say on Social Media During the Games

DavidGriner — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:27:03 -0000

You raise an interesting question! Can brands share news content that (legally) uses Olympic trademarks? Based on all the above, going to guess the answer is no.

Don't worry, Nimish, I'm sure ep. 2 will be 100% about your characters.

Only in advertising does such a comment make sense. Good eye. Fixed.

You and I were clearly in the 550-575 set.

Re: Why Some Indie Shops Take a Pass on Pitches

DavidGriner — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 15:48:17 -0000

Do clients actually go in for the idea of having agencies spec a different business? I've only ever seen them say, basically, "build our next seasonal campaign."

DavidGriner — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:11:41 -0000

"Big" is certainly not a synonym for "good," though. We're talking pure scope here.

Yep you're correct. We're tweaking the description to make it more clear that these are shots from the EA Sports displays at EA headquarters.

Re: Meet the Man Whose Chrome Extension Turns Every Mention of 'Millennials' Into 'Snake People'

DavidGriner — Tue, 26 May 2015 22:03:58 -0000

It's more clever and a better conversation starter than 99% of the ads I've seen today, so I don't regret giving it its due.

Hahah great one. I almost went with "I don't get it," which was probably the most deflating thing to hear in my copywriting days.

Site editor here! Not really sure what's up with the copy-paste comments, but we're certainly not behind it (nor does it really boost our articles in any real way to have a few more comments). We've also seen a lot of weird "echo chamber" spam in social lately, where legitimate comments are copied and sent out by bots. Alas, some days, it's hard to tell who's human.
