Sorry, but this is my only source of income, not a hobby. And I’ve been a professional ad critic for 20 years and an award-winning (CLIO, One Show, etc.) copywriter for over 30 years. And the insights that come from that knowledge ain’t gonna be free. And I ain’t writing a book. Thank you.
If you don’t like Bodega Cats, you just need to GTFOH right now. They’re working cats. They have to deal with asshole customers day-in, day-out, plus catch mice and at least scare away rats (Have you seen how big NYC rats are?).
Anyway, I get emails: “Well let’s see your work, asshole, you think you’re such a hot shot”.
Well here ya go, some of the goddamn finest creative work I’ve ever done (more, previously).

“Like me. Though, I’m even gentler on the planet because I lick my plates and bowls clean”.
2. Combos
“Of course I ate them all. Cats love cheese. Ask the clerk to get another case. Oh wait, none left. Come back next week”.
Freelancing Bodega Feline. Hey, It’s hard out here for a pimp-cat.

Technically, not a Bodega Cat. But definitely a fucking brand “guru”.
