I liked the recent Pepsi chase cars work, but I haven’t seen much else from them in a while.

Pepsi + Food = Good is a 20 year old strategy whose results are dubious at best. It’s a failure of smart planning that they’re still trying to “persuade” people to drink Pepsi with food. Coke’s “Open Happiness” positioning lives on a much higher level and doesn’t get encumbered by foisting a rational argument on people that Pepsi tastes better with food.

it takes a little time, there were a lot of bad decisions made that compounded for years, it's being untangled. I apologize for not being snarky. there are some great people there, we should want BBDO to do well.

Why? Because you work there?

Because from the outside, it sure seems like BBDO stands for making mediocre, lowest common denominator work under a monopolistic structure that will depress creative salaries and hurt the bargaining power of all creatives while enriching execs such as yourself.

Or, as you’ve weakly branded it, “doing big things.”

Currently stuck in risk but interested in Cyber. Have done one related engagement from a regulatory perspective. But a lot of posts here making me think it’s harder to break into than I expected (non-technical background). If you had a six sigma green belt / supply chain degree/exp., would you still go through the effort of going into Cyber or take easy risk money being offered / easier transition back to supply chain? 2-3 YOE and trying to decide career course, any advice highly appreciated

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.
