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.

Tuesday Morning Inspiration

Good Morning. For this dose of morning inspiration and wisdom I turn to my agency mirage. Venables Bell & Partners gets my little bleeding heart racing because, well, their motto includes "do right by your clients" and "do right by your people". I didn't know people like that (other than me) existed in advertising. So the good people at VBP put together this little nugget for you to swish around this morning.

“The clients who are attracted to us are the ones who really want to solve their marketing problems. But there are also a lot of clients who don’t want to solve their marketing problems, want to operate business as usual and don’t want to rock the boat. We’re not a good fit for those clients. We turn down clients regularly, and we say ‘no’ more than anyone else in the business.”

Have a good Tuesday! And if anyone from VBP gets their hands on this, I'd die to come work for you.
