I like the progressive (becoming your parents) ads out of Arnold

Love those ads!

There are VERY funny people at every agency. Look for brands willing to do comedy (real comedy, not “wit” or “smart humor.”) Far and few between these days.

I feel like the Martin agency and Arnold (really just progressive) are holding the torch for everyone else.

Erich & Kallman

I feel like those are the commercials we all wanna make. Get the product benefit out of the way then tell a joke

Erich Kallman. Callen. WK. are all humorous at times.

Used to be a lot from Cliff Freeman, BFG, Chiat, BBDO, Fallon, Crispin, Wieden. Now not so much. Maybe due to comedic creatives are now freelancing all over the place.

I can’t think of any. I can’t actually recall the last time an ad made me laugh. Does that happen anymore? There’s lots of unfunny “comedic” work. But not a lot of brands want to actually be funny. Of course comedy is subjective and that’s just my subjective take.

Fallon and W+K used to be great for comedic work Both have gone downhill lately though.

I feel like account management is increasingly becoming the “meetings and deadlines” department.

They throw client requests at creatives and strategy. They have no clue what the client wants or needs, they don’t ask questions to the client and just expect creatives and strategy to figure it all out while they build timelines and due dates. When you ask them questions their best answers are “let’s connect on this offline”

Change my mind.
