God Ogilvy are basically masters of scam work now. Surprised they didn't add something ike about how every cart is made of reclaimed plastics or how every arepa sold sends an underprivileged kid to college. The first self sufficient food card? Thousands of lives changed? Give me a break. I'm so sick of seeing this transparent scam work at cannes

It’s gotten so crazy. Every award winning idea lately just looks like a kickstarter video for some fauxlanthropic wank.

But the game is the game.

"Fauxlanthropic" needs to be used more often

It’s cool. It’s a real problem in a lot of cultures. Hope they can scale it somehow.

They don’t care about scaling it. Once the award show case video is done, they move on to the next scam idea.

I’ve lived in various neighborhoods outside the US where mobile street vendors illegally tapping into electricity and dumping used oil everywhere was a big issue, a big problem, and a dangerous one. I find it somewhat interesting that it takes advertising and brand patronage to address a socioeconomic and environmental problem as opposed to any governmental entities stepping in (who are bound by red tape, a lack of urgency and a lack of innovation), but if it means I don’t ever have to slip in a pool of vendor grease on a dark side street again, I can dig it.

like

I didn’t, I’m just someone who lived surrounded by these carts, and I think that a lot of what we praise as “smart collaborations” and “research and development” in rich nations are derided as scam ads and one-offs in smaller ones, by nations that don’t realize that experimentation and innovation isn’t going to come from governments or deep pockets in some countries… It’s going to come from unusual corners, including from small brands and ad agencies. Not ever culture can afford a Big 3 automaker teaming with NASA to pioneer new solar technology, some are going to figure out how to reuse arepa or taquito oil in a food cart and that’s OK.

i prefer the advertising that helps even a few people versus ones that do nothing but increase profits.

they wanna award farm for it, that's fine. let's just not pretend we're philanthropists.

Ogilvy is an obsolete behemoth forced to make fake work for trophies to fake its relevance.

Making work for an actual big paying client? That’s hard.

like

They treat it as an r&d investment. The cost of doing business and attracting new clients. Can’t blame them.

like

Problem is in a lot of markets outside of USA there’s no opportunity for doing daring work. So they have to fake it.

Just a thought, perhaps the admin can pin two threads:

2) Would you change jobs / interview while pregnant?
