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.

Wednesday Wisdom from Bill Bernbach

In honor of Bill Bernbach's shout out on Mad Men on Sunday (his first if I'm not mistaken, which is a little ridiculous for the godfather of the creative revolution, but that's neither here nor there) Wednesday's Wisdom comes courtesy of the late, great, DDB founder.

“There are two attitudes you can wear: that of cold arithmetic or that of warm, human
persuasion. I will urge the latter on you. For there is evidence that in the field of
communications the more intellectual you grow, the more you lose the great intuitive skills
that make for the greater persuasion-the things that really touch and move people.”
