1. You all sound like wieners, a bunch of old ladies in they’re late 70’s. Give me a break, this is Advertising ladies and gents.
2. Advertising is about Business, about creating work for a client that SELLS THEY’RE PRODUCTS.
3. Awards for CREATIVE work. Sure it may not run, sure if may not ever be used, but ITS [ AWARDING CREATIVE ADVERTISING] , not MOST SALES GENERATED BY AD.
4. so if your working is selling your clients product, or sales are going up, and your client is HAPPY, great job, you should be proud – if you win an AWARD FOR CREATING A CREATIVE AD/CAMPAIGN, congrats, your talented and you deserve it.

so stop crying, you guys all sound like babies. Need a hug?
- i’m only a JR. Art DIrector and i understand this, you all should be ashamed.

Tide TV

Tide print

The vodka stuff

The cough syrup stuff

Basically, everything he touched at Saatchi was “fake”

Meaning it never ran or it ran once to enter into an award show.

ha! c’mon, ODL, listen to what you’re saying: you make a claim, you can’t back up what you say, so it’s MY FAULT and i’m an idiot!! that’s some sweet logic, hope your clients get more brainwidth than that. sorry, but i’m not the one out there making claims, so it ain’t my job to qualify and prove someone else’s opinion.

and mad dog: time to chill, brother. i thought we were all lovers not haters in this comfy little social community of ours, no need to call names just because, again, your fuzzy “facts” aren’t concrete.

rt,

either you are brain-damaged or just an natural-born idiot. there’s a long tradition of cheating to win awards. for year’s the shows looked the other way, then they toughened the rules a bit, but it’s still easy to get around them. the poster category, for example. look for brands with small budgets, like altoids, that produced a ton of work. Or look for ads done for organizations like “Doctors in favor of better thermometers for albanian refugees.” Or look for anything from singapore.

OK… you can stop being a whiny little bitch about this — you do the definite research and get back to us all with your report.

You want to act like your a 3rd Grader… well now you have a “book report” for us all to evaluate.

It is due here, addressed to Ms. SuperSpy, by 5 pm EDT on March 28, 2008 — thanks for volunteering. That is all!

Because you are lazy — rumour has it:

Tony Granger while at S&S
Tide Ultra (P&G)
Won at Cannes – Grand Prix
(Didn’t actually air until the Superbowl months later — because it was an award-winner)

More info on the ad:

@sean: ok, closer but still no facts (“…most years”…”some fake work.”) explain the deal with the Stella coupon…why is it fake? what’s the proof? i’m just asking cuz i’m not familiar with the ad/situation.
