My “cool” fall flannel is from Abercrombie, and I rip off the tags so no one knows. They make a damn good flannel.

It’s a joke, ACD 1. The capitalization of Fancy New York Agency is as though it were a proper noun, implying OP feels the agency they work at is a little self-important and slightly distancing themselves from that self-importance. Sincerely, Another Copywriter

I applied for Miami Ad School NYC but to be honest, I’m not overly-impressed with the books that I see on the recent grads page. Conversely, the books I’m seeing from Creative Circus grads are insanely awesome. Am I missing something here or is one school good and the other just isn’t?
