It's a bit odd to get nostalgic about ads, but I kind of agree. What are some old ads that you still remember to this day? Have you seen any recent ones that stood out to you?

I'm old enough to remember the Crazy Eddie commercials on TV. The ads were awful, it was mainly a guy screaming at you ("His prices are INSANE!"). But I guess they must have been effective. Although I had one relative who wouldn't shop at Crazy Eddie because he hated the commercials so much. Btw, the real Crazy Eddie eventually went to jail for a massive fraud scheme.

People thought commercials were dead when TIVO came out.

Then the internet.

Then streaming services. And now commercials are back on streaming unless you pay to lose them.

People have always failed to realize that nothing coming into your house on a screen is free. Somebody has to pay for it. Subscriptions have not kept up with costs.

I remember watching This is Sportscenter and Most Interesting Man in the World ads on TV growing up.

I was exposed to a lot of good TV ads growing up during the explosion of cable TV. It’s torture coming into the industry at a time where fewer and fewer people understand the power of strong TV advertising.

gen z here - the chef boyardee rolling can commercial is so cozy to me

I can still sing every word to that old Keebler commercial “where do you think those Keebler cookies come from?”

Choice drives capitalism. And commercials fuel choice. They’ll be with us for a bit me thinks

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!
