Here's To The Bobbleheads



Here's to the bobbleheads.

Here's to the ones who sit at every meeting and nod in agreement.

Here's to the ones who never have a dangerous idea or an interesting opinion.

Here's to the ones who always agree with the highest ranking person in the room.

Here's to the ones who go to conferences and tweet out the banalities.

Here's to the guys and gals who start every sentence with, "The client said..."

Here's to the ones who think their job is to make someone happy.

Here's to the ones who have no questions.

Here's to the ones who agree with the last person they spoke to.

Here's to the ones who produce the biggest decks and the fuzziest briefs.

Here's to the ones who can't finish a sentence without "disrupt" or "engage."

Here's to the ones who know all of the platitudes and none of the facts.

Here's to the true believers -- the new kings and queens of the ad industry.

Here's to the bobbleheads!

Here's to the ones that I must restrain myself from murdering whenever they utter a tired banality as though it were a proverb from Ogilvy.


Bobblehead is too kind a term.

Here's to the ones that think "research" is animate and can talk as in "the research says..."

I thought this was a drinking game, and now I'm shitfaced at 3 in the afternoon.

Here's to the ones who confuse "likes" with revenue.

If you survey someone in a shopping mall and ask them where they shop. What do you think they'll say? Maybe i'll conduct a survey in a brothel and present results that 95% of married men are sleeping with prostitutes.

Here's to the ones who were bobbleheads at the agency and moved over to the client's side to become even more bigger bobbleheads!

Here's to the one's who have one foot in the oven and one foot in the fridge. On average they are happy.

Don't they at least use the Internet to research before buying?

However, much of the reason for the demise of those high streets is the inability of landlords to accept that 12% of sales now completely bypass them. Rents go up and up when they really have no right to do so. Eventually the property market will catch up and the high street will be back.

You ad guys are full of it. The ad business was a short-lived industry that lasted until clients figured out you had no idea what your were (are) talking about. (1965 - 1990). Those who remain should shop whining or quit now and get a real job, we know - as you do - that you're all phonys.
