And The 2022 Winner For The Worst Use Of A Song In An Ad Is...
Read the post, freeloaders, it's short.
NOTE: Starting in January, I’m putting up a paywall. Free Subscribers will only receive one weekly Shit Post, and will not get to read my better, more creative posts, such as: My brilliant accurate takes on the industry; my true horror stories; my posts where I make bad but funny spec/fake ads for brands; and my weekly audio posts—where you’ll get to hear me and my intoxicating voice tear an ad to fucking shreds. I believe this is well worth your $5/month or $50/year. I’ve been blogging professionally about Ad Creativity for 18 fucking years (@Guardian, VICE, Gawker, etc.). And I’ve been a better-than-average copywriter for 30+ years. I’m fucking tired of providing this expertise, wit, and fucking humor (and cursing) for fucking free. PLEASE buy a subscription.
Click the ugly green button below. Thank You.
Bud Light—in whatever form, can, bottle, glass—is certainly NOT a fucking Miracle, ans is most certainly NOT a Sexy Thing. Agency: Draftline.
A great song by the British soul band.
Errol Brown died in 2015. But you can be damn sure he didn’t drink shit-ass Bud Light.
Cool - I’ll look at my credit card billing and note the pay date, put in next years calendar and send you an email - again, love your insights and rants. Imo it’s about getting someone to think differently, see differently, and have them act - like vote, buy, reconsider and ads can be major game changers in 30 freaking seconds. Why wax and wane on FB, 30 sec videos are the art form and why Tik Tok is killing it
I'm sorry I meant Mark Duffy...As I said before I've been following Mark's posts for 20 years then he disappeared and came back and since I like your stuff I ponied up the $100. Now Mark or Copyranter or whomever the fuck does the billing and subscriptions says "hey, $50 is the new normal" and this is after a few months of a paid subscription. So, whomever can do this (and I fucking know there's someone who can handle this) extend my subscription to 2 years and we're cool.
