I just saw that the NRA has an ad agency!? Ackerman McQueen. If anyone has worked there or knows someone who has I must hear their story. Because who the fuck would work on this??

They are based in OKC and they represent mostly local government, education and casinos. NRA seems to be their only major national client. Remember: not everyone in advertising is a bi-coastal liberal so I’m sure there are plenty of people happy to work on it. I wouldn’t, though, not once.

@Director of Content 1: thanks for the bicoastal liberal jab. I’m not on either coast. If you’re in advertising and working on things that are openly killing people: guns and cigarettes, I find you confusing. But then again I find straight people confusing too, so what do I know?

It is completely surprising to me when a majority of the country thinks we need tougher gun control. You would think an org like the NRA would have an internal agency versus an actual agency. Naive? Sure. I just don’t know who could watch what happened in Parkland and make the spots and pieces on NRATV the next day. That’s not naïveté, that’s an expectation of humanity. But I guess that’s aiming too high

like

The difference is at an internal agency you are making that choice to work on and engage in that client. I was at an agency and they told me I was going to be moved to cigarettes and I said no thanks and resigned so there’s an element of choice. But your point is well made about different strokes for different folks

Not only are they lacking people of color, the current roster has no color in their face. Because instead of blood in their veins, Iit's probably ice. That is why everyone is so pale.

@GCD sorry but I do think your view on the advertising world is a little naive (but aspirational all the same). People make these things that kill people (cigarettes, guns etc) so it’s not a great leap for me to understand that some people will also market those things. The NRA has enough money to constantly lobby hundreds of politicians so it’s completely unsurprising to me that there is an agency willing to take their money. Honestly, if you think everyone in your industry has the same values as you do, I’m sorry, they don’t.

I guess to your point about an internal agency, you’re acknowledging that a team of creatives would work on it. Why is it so hard to understand an agency would do the same? Especially one in a very republican location? Don’t get me wrong, I cannot comprehend working on such an abhorrent account myself, but I guess I’m not shocked to think that others might. It’s the same with many other professions. There are people out there who will willingly represent and defend monsters if the price is right.

Those guys look like card carrying members of the KKK.

If you posted that photo with no context I would have thought it was a photo from an agency in the 60s.

Pharma kills, junk food kills, banks take people's houses and steal their pensions, etc. if you work at a big agency , you work for the evil in this world

That over generalization is ridiculous @Publicis1

AITA? I’m a 8th year attorney working at a boutique PI firm, resolving around $30m-$40 million a year. Average case value is above $1m. But I’m also being assigned lower value cases in the low six figures. From my perspective, these eat up my time and leave me with less time to focus on the high value cases I manage. AITA to ask the partner for some kind of value threshold to let me focus on those larger cases? There are younger associates at the firm who would love the work.
