I was going to say it doesn't take any ... they wouldn't have a clue how to make a TV spot. Glad you took a break to share this.
ReplyDelete"Cognitive Anthropologist", I believe, is the CP+B term for account planner. I like this term. It focuses the planner on what he or she is actually supposed to do. IN the sidebar, Bob, you quote yourself saying that creative people make the ads, and everyone else makes the arrangements. Understanding what makes people tick is one of the most important "arrangements" one can make.
ReplyDeleteAnd zero copywriters. Apparently.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if this was going to be a post about why those two ads sucked. And apparently it is.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha... You have no mercy, Bob.
ReplyDeleteApparently there was no copy since there's no credit to Copywriter.
