McCannSF has a confusing site to navigate, but I L-O-V-E love their "stuff we try to remember" section. Here's one tidbit I found particularly profound this Saturday evening.
"Our strategy and insight need to be clear and logical. Our message does not. If we all feel perfectly comfortable about our rational and logical message, people will see the pitch coming a mile away, and run like hell."
"I think advertising is poison gas. Advertising should tear you up, it should choke you, you should get the chills and maybe you should pass out when you're watching." - George Lois
We couldn't agree more. The ad-world fuels our endless curiosity for what moves people to do what they do, how we can invade people's homes and lives, and how, at the end of the day, we can convince people to buy more crap they don't need. Like poison gas, this shit's in our veins...pervades our lives and every waking (and sometimes sleeping) thoughts.
