... just not mine! The writer at our sister agency is off and I've got a bit of a balancing act to do this week. Not that I'm complaining--a lot of the projects coming in are pretty fun and really varied.
It's just, you know... I haven't a minute to blog about anything. Gak!
Although how's this for odd: A client of ours insists on NOT putting a logo on a piece. First time in my career I found myself on the pro-logo side of the fence. Wonders never cease!

Random thoughts about pet peeves, advertising, pregnancy, rampant dumbness, moving, and whatever else has my knickers in a bind today.

- I'm a copywriter who loves her job most of the time, a mother who fluctuates between bliss and the abyss, a wifey who bites her tongue a lot of the time, and a traveller who's never quite satisfied. Doesn't get better than this.
Have they no decency. Standing at my neighborhood mailbox sorting all the DM that arrives daily I had an oversize piece with just a teaser on first fold, second, third...
ReplyDeleteAt this point I have a 2' long brochure for something or other I dont want. You could have saved me the bother with a logo. Most of those are so anti-climatic and frustrating. Please save the heartbreak for both of us Mr.Advertiser and put a logo somewhere on outside fold.
Do agencies get paid by the square inch?
jeaves: I think you're thinking of the porn industry. ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes agencies come up with bad ideas. Sometimes they come up with good ideas that clients "tweak" into oblivion. Sometimes the initial request is ridiculous. And sometimes the final product is just blech (like a DM with a lovely reveal I once worked on, which ended up on the cheapest paper imaginable and wouldn't open).
There's a thousand reasons to account for bad ads. We just try really, really hard to fight for good ones!
