You sound (fast forward 30 yea...Whoa Mr Anonymous.<br /><br />You sound (fast forward 30 years) like a bitter older generation ad type. The way I read Matt's post, it was neither naive nor n observation requiring "schooling."<br /><br />Telling him he won't be in the industry seems to me like a Freudian slip about where you are currently or fear you may be.<br /><br />I can't sh#t on people because theyre under 30. You were once too and you probably though the generation behind you was "missing" something.<br /><br />It's his pov and it has validity. I've worked at agencies that became something other than the place I was hired at due to cultural changes, politics and I left to find a place more amenable to my style. philosophy and skill set.<br /><br />I know George dislikes this word .."curmudgeon"..but that's what you sound like to me. <br /><br />I don't know Matt but I wish him the best. His career might well eclipse ours. It may not but therein lies his journey.<br /><br />Elena TzardofskyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-965533873638456542013-10-19T14:27:50.824-04:002013-10-19T14:27:50.824-04:00hey anonymous,

I don't think so. <br /><br />A "dangleberry"?

Let's fast forward 30 years. Odds ...Hey, Matt,<br /><br />Let's fast forward 30 years. Odds are you won't be using terms such as "pretty cool" and you won't be in the industry. (Think service sector in the New Normal Economy.)<br /><br />What you don't seem to grasp is that no matter how proud you are of the "work", it isn't what's most important to a client. A good client cares about the result of the work - sales.<br /><br />Oh, and once upon a time ago, we had fun while creating advertising that generated those sales.<br /><br />Until you grasp the fact that you have to justify your existence by that metric, you're just a dangleberry and similarly will meet its fate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-26762302097518787982013-10-18T16:14:10.597-04:002013-10-18T16:14:10.597-04:00Do you love or disdain advertising?
How does you...Do you love or disdain advertising? <br /><br />How does your own work stand up to the best out there?<br /><br />Is it that you believe that the best days are behind us or is it just possible that its where you work..the agency I work at is pretty cool (not going to mention names but there is an ampersand involved) and we create some the nest work out there so I believe it could be about where you work rather than writing off every agency on the planet.<br /><br />If you have little regard for your co-workers etc then why not move on to a new place?<br /><br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072420181476584961.post-5981449519184264342013-10-18T10:29:48.494-04:002013-10-18T10:29:48.494-04:00"Big blather" is the best phrase I'v..."Big blather" is the best phrase I've read all week.
