I wonder if McCann would seek to make amends by supporting this take on Priceless:

By the way, did anyone ever visit McCann’s website when hey had those “mental jellyfish” floating around on the main page. Think I’ll go back and see if they’re still there. If it’s on the label you know what’s in the can. McCann’s motto is, “The truth well told.” Good times. Good times.

Well feel free to visit my comment under your “The Problem With Your Clients” Post. McCann-Ericson rides again! And I’ve known agency Chairman John Dooner since he was an assistant account executive on Sprite at Marshalk. That’s a long time.

And yes! Agency Spy got a mention on my blog MADISON AVENUE. Please keep doing what you’re doing!

Mcann is without a doubt the lowest rent dinasour in the business. JKT is a befuddled wacko who herself even seems dumbfounded at the position she holds- as in, “How stupid must this place be to let me run the creative department?” Honestly, the woman has never had an enlightening thing to say or add. Obviously, her cheap blackmail tactics of leaving the agency (she, afterall is considered vital by MasterCard fools for some very unknown reason) if she wasn’t handed DiSesa’s job worked. But, there she sits graciously holding the door open for the flood of wisely exiting clients. Guess it’s time to officially change the name of the place to McCAN’T.

The problem is that it isn’t six guys. It’s one guy photographed from both sides, Photoshop’d 3x each. Total Getty Images JO.

If you really want to deconstruct it, it says that Intel processors turn your employees into super-charged clones ready to serve your every command, even charging headlong into each other from a sprinter’s crouch.
And that’s a message I can get behind.

Love your takes. Go fake Gmail accounts! As always with first post, hope the code renders! Lack of Preview makes me colon dash open parens.

I interviewed with McCann Erickson Seattle last year. I wondered if they had it all together from the person I interviewed with. Oh well, fate smiled on me.
