Lately I’ve been getting absolutely pummeled by Gardasil ads on Hulu. And those things are forced 60s. It’s horrendous. The experience of a pharma ad is somehow even more weird and uncomfortable with exposure. It really makes me wonder what the budgets are for this bizarre marketing noise? What % of marketing budgets are pharma? Are there any media tools to find that kind of stuff?

Heard many gasdasil horror stories. So guessing they need positive stories to tell, rather than the maiming of young women. But since they’re on the vaccine schedule, also not sure why they need to advertise at all. The sheep will just follow it blindly.

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.
