You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly July 14, 2009

The uneasy relationship between agencies and purchasing departments reminds me of the country duet sung by George Jones and Tammy Wynette, "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly."

Why is it that we always have to feel as though we know everything all the time? When we let go and just realize that we really don't know everything, new opportunity presents itself.

Cattle Fetch Higher Prices and Suffer Less Humiliation July 8, 2009

We recently were invited to participate in an online RFP issued by one of our longest-standing clients. We weren't offended by the RFP -- we've been through the cycle before. But this time it was different. This time it was fully automated -- no personal contact, just data into a machine. And this time it wasn't an RFP for creative production. […]

If Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno and David Letterman consistently get their comedic material from today's pharmaceutical commercials, something is wrong.

It's a Crazy Time, so Let's Get Crazy June 22, 2009

Jay Chiat is a man that we could use today because there is a lot of fear in our industry. Fear breeds mediocrity and careers of such men as Jay Chiat prove that there is no excuse for mediocrity.

How to Avoid Agency Growing Pains June 18, 2009

When I recently tried to enter our agency, Partners & Napier, in Ad Age's Small Agency Awards, I came to a realization: In just five years, our agency had tripled in size, outgrowing the "small" category.
