Yeah for an in house agency (not that in house agencies are bad or anything) , they do bust out some decent stuff from time to time. They had a similar display at another major city last year that was pretty nice.

This "Earthkeeper" campaign is pretty old. They've been doing the whole water bottle inside cube displays for around 17 months now. The TV spots are new but the station domination and other print is just old recycled material. Haha.

Rumor has Adage in serious talks with Washington for website relief. They're requesting a bail out budget to keep the website online.

Good point.

Not to mention who the hell wants one of these cars if they do go under? I've been very interested in this "Big Three bail out" story since it began. I think it's because it effects the ad industry so much. It will be very interesting to see what happens with or without help from Washington.

My gut tells me Detroit will get their 25 billion and in 2 years from now all 3 automakers will be in the same exact hole.

The founder of AA always pushes the envelope. He always had that amature porn vibe happening in his ads. Now he just said screw it and shows it all. Everyone likes naked.

Unless you have a perfect credit rating, who's going to approve your financing? 20% is not low enough. Make it 30-40% and people might be talking. For these chumps to show up in DC via their private jets shows you just how much they are out of touch. No one bailed my ass out when my 19 month old jeep grand cherokee laredo engine blew and it sat in my driveway for 3 months. Fuck em and let them sink like the titanic!

If you're getting under the skin of certain companies then the info you have must be accurate. Otherwise they wouldn't give a shit or pay attention.

Bravo. Job well done.

Re: Accounts That Should Be Up For Review: The Gap - AgencySpy

Oh man, this list could get very long. There are far too many accounts out there that should go into review.

My top pick would have to go to Verizon. Will someone just do us all a favor and shoot that nerdy spokesman guy now!? Not to mention the Verizon logo is just godawful.

Who knows who's budget is bigger. I don't recall any past Microsoft spots until Crispin won the business. I hardly ever see Microsoft outdoor or print. Chiat seems to bust these TV spots out daily. At least in print and broadcast Apple seems to have a bigger dick.

Now this is more of a dick waving, creative war between Crispin and Chiat and the clients are caught in the middle.
