Roll up, rollup. Learn to write cliched ads that fit the industry’s prevailing fashions and standards.
Go NZ.
Why is Young Guns chronologically based? Surely, it should be the number of years in the industry as opposed to how old you are? It perpetuates the myth that advertising is for young people with crazy hair and cool t-shirts – the people that many CDs feel obliged to surround themselves with.
Still struggling with that shelf wobbler, 1:52?
Nah, 5:38 PM.
I’ve seen what a lot of these schools churn out and I don’t rate it as being fresh or interesting. The true greats of our industry never went to ad school. They were students of life and the culture that surrounded them. They weren’t students of the latest copy-free Cannes print ad.
6:53 you’re 100% correct. It’s brain-washing them into believing, without question, that the prevailing ‘award’ orthodoxy is THE ONLY way to do advertising.
5:38… There’s no need to bring your girlfriend into this.
So very little support for organisations trying to continue to provide the industry with creative minds focused on the talent that makes great advertising great. Tut, tut Adland… hope you haven’t been entering work into awards to boost your career/salary/agency profile now. As the cliche goes “Those in glass houses…’ anyway you get the idea.
if i won the lotto i’d got to miami ad 🙁
