But at the same time, I've shopped my book long enough to have had that happen when it really mattered, as opposed to getting panned on the blogosphere, so I don't know that I would bother me for longer than a minute or two. You're critiqued all the time in this business, good and bad. It's just the way it is. @ AS: I always wanted to have a conference to attend, especially one that was relevant and buzzword free. I'm in. @ RT: I gotta be honest, I am vain enough to take it personally if someone pans my work.

I've been mulling over that Marketing Conversations post--as I see you & Daily Biz have been too. (Both more nimble bloggers.) I think the reason I'm anon is--what's the advantage to outing myself? It's not like I'm a freelance journalist hoping editors will read and hire me for their next assignment. What ECD hires freelance on the strength of a blog? Plus, I'm used to ghostwriting behind the scenes--ads don't have bylines. The major deterrent, of course, has been cited above: known bloggers aren't free to blog the hand that feeds them.

For the longest time, I was anonymous because my gig at the time was becoming an embarrassing cliche of social media bullshit that I wanted nothing to do with. I hope for their failure now that I am away from them (and I really hate them as I owe the IRS $20K thanks to their poor accounting). The smoke and mirrors of that organization is what finally tipped me over to the dark side of the anonymous ad blogging world. But really, I'm not THAT anonymous. A few links on my blog reveal who I am. I am not a big name - and we are marketers. It's all about packaging. I’ve been in traditional, digital and social.

Plus, we're pretty sure our employers would freak out. While we have no intention of ever going public, we do admire Toad for working on pulling his identities together. Wishing you the best, TT. "I would probably tell you what I think to your face, but I don’t even know you yet. And anyway, it’s not personal. But some people might take it that way." Nice Biz. That's so true. Maybe we should all get together and have a phone based advertising conference. Everyone else is having a conference why shouldn't we? Ha!
