Update: Draft And FCB To Divorce?
August 22, 2007
Our sources are confirming that Draft and FCB are headed for a break-up. The authority on all things Draft, blogger George Parker, is proving to be right, yet again. Our sources also say that the commentator on George’s blog named LAM is reporting accurate info.
Every blogger has their most hated agency. Ours is McCann. We defer to all things DraftFCB to Mr. Parker.
By the way, we hear that Mr. Parker is working on a new book and…. here’s the unconfirmed news – a film! We’re waiting for Parker to confirm or deny. If you don’t know who George is, read a little bit about him here and get that much needed download.

every time I find a cool website, douche bag Mr. Parker has to come in and mark his territory by plugging his lame-ass blog.
Have you ever been to it? There’s only about 3 people that comment, and he’s one of them. He’s like the grandfather that’s entering dementia and every one just kinda laughs at.

Hey Laurence…
How are you?

Draft can go back to having a studio with no retouching, no wide format printers (the ONLY agency I ever worked for that didn’t) and no quality scanning. It will all be farmed out like it was before, at tremendous cost and waste, while talented people slowly lose their minds in dark, dank cubicles getting measly raises. I saw bills for thousands of dollars of outside product photography in Draftworks while FCB has a state-of-the-art digital photography studio. Makes you wonder if a person (or two) isn’t going the route of immortal former Grey employee Mitch M. I was actually told by a supervisor (who couldn’t make a PDF) that the problem with a wide format printer (which is essential to new business pitches) is you have to hire someone to run it! It is pure genius (albeit evil) to convince the masses that the bull you are being fed is for real. Oops, I just defined advertising itself.
The Stet Song:
Make it bigger.
Make it smaller.
Turn it upside down.
Move it all around.
Put it back where it was.
Stet.

Oh, by the way – that is one distinctive logo don’t you think? Probably developed at the cost of the GNP of a small caribbean nation.
