Just A Note On That Wendy’s Campaign
January 29, 2008
The comments on our recent Wendy’s post ["Is It "Waaaay Better Than Fast Food?"] are getting prolific. Sweet. Here’s a little more info on those soon to arrive spot. The creative lead was Izzy Debellis, former partner and creative director of… okay, wait for it… wait for it… BERLIN CAMERON! Our favorite shop in the whole wide world. Meet Izzy at the Kirshenbaum Bond site, here. Or, oddly, you can also check him out at the Berlin site, here.
Oh please, please… someone send us the video to these spots. No need to post on YouTube and possibly get yourself in a bit of poo. Send direct to agencyspy at mediasbistro dot com. We are dying to see what Izzy has come up with. Please? Please?
We’d also like to add this addendum – in her speech, Wendy’s CEO Kerrii Andersen said that ““This effort has been driven by a clear understanding of our brand strategy and hallmarks of quality, freshness and honesty.” Honesty? What about that little trans fat scandal they got into? And the overall implication that Wendy’s is not fast food. Whatever. Whatever.

Did Berlin Cameron sleep with you and not call you back or something? Cuz this vendetta against the “boys club” – which is about every ad agency out there – is getting uncomfortable. And not in the sexy way.

Berlin Cameron is your favorite agency? Well that explains a LOT!

Oh just take a look at all our posts about The Boys Club to find out why we don’t dig them. Interesting that complains about how much we nitpick McCann and we loathe them more than any other agency out there.
We just love that Staffer turned it sexual. Pre.dick.table.
Do you post that kind of stuff to Steve Hall when he picks on Fallon? Or how about George Parker and DraftFCB? Or, or, or… Take us head on for our stated reasons of disliking the agency or really, please… spare us your cracker-barrel commentary.
Thanks!

Sexy Spy… I don’t just hate Draft/FCB… I fucking hate everyone. And, I’m with you… Andy Berlin is a pompous DOUCHENOZZLE! When he left Goodby Silverstein two hundred years ago, they threw a huge party and got drunk for a month. And what the fuck is that “United Agencies who Produce Shit” thing he pretends to head up?
And Staffer is just fucking jealous because he heard the rumors about that one incredible night we had together. And no, I will not publish the Polaroids on AdScam. No matter how much Steve Hall offers me!

My point was that you are taking one shop to task (the boy’s club-ness) for something that just about every ad agency can be called. It’s advertising, it’s kinda a sausage fest.
Your Gawker-toned defensiveness is telling.
And just to be clear, I agree that Berlin is fairly spare. And McCann. And George Parker, whoever the hell that is.

izzy is a nice guy. he bailed on berlin because he got tired of the bullshit.
when you ask anyone at berlin cameron just exactly where andy berlin is these days they always tell you he’s floating around in some sea org yacht of the coast of florida.
