Did Saatchi’s NZ run out of people to expel?
Where’s that chick who always complains on the blog about the industry being one big ‘boys club’ when you need her?
Perhaps her nails are still drying and she can’t use the keyboard.
Yeah, probably.
Plenty there to give a manicure.
Good to see the media peeps finally being pampered, they normally have such a tough time.
Media is such a girls club.
Thought this was a creative blog. Not New Idea.
Yeah, they look like power brokers
Must be a good spa – they don’t look very senior.
High Profile Senior Media Planner: Hmmm, after much consideration, for this campaign i suggest you buy some TV, some print, some radio, and a microsite. Through our agency of course. Right? Good. I’m off to get my nails done.
Unfortunately CB if you get rid of all the misogynistic comments all that will left will be the ones that focus on how rotten our media business has become with this you-scratch-my-back-I’ll-polish-your-nails-shit. It is SO outdated as a business model.
Despite what you may be thinking, media planners give completely impartial advice to clients.
This is because they get showered with freebies from ALL the media players.
It’s all about ME, Dear.
Bring back media planners who wait for the idea to be developed before they look at media placement.
Doesn’t take a genius to work out 25-45yr old affluent females watch sex and the city, read cosmopolitan and marie clare and ooh, this is the exciting one, catch public transport during the week and watch those little tv’s at the gym in the morning.
Waste of time, personally.
Bring back advertising people with an open mind – whether they are from a media agency, creative agency or client side!
Come on people, have some imagination – thinking “oh, it’s not that hard, let’s do tv, print, blah blah blah” is SO outdated.
It’s sounds like a blue sky idea, but how about working together to come up with great ideas for our clients? Not just a good creative idea or a good media idea – a good all-round campaign. Ideas can come from anywhere and don’t need a TVC storyborad (oh, sorry, creative idea) before the media planners can start thinking as well.
Let’s hold hands and sing around the campfire.
