Well. It's LeBron. You have no idea how difficult that is to pull off. Original creative idea probably got diced by stakeholders.

Okay

I haven’t seen it but if my client was Hennessy and the talent was LeBron James, I would be hyped. Can we PLEASSSEEEEEEE be a bit more positive on this app in a time when budgets are basically nonexistent and selling anything through is next to impossible?!*

* I will take this back if the spot is truly horrendous and should not have been made

I just saw it and I do take back what I said.

Oh man, I just watched that. WK did that? Feels like a CMO made this up and had WK do it.

One thing that made it hard to watch was what a knob Lebron is. For a guy that amazing at basketball, he still comes off like an absolute dork anytime he shows up and has to talk

I always loved this old-ish Strongbow meta ad from Droga. Patrick Stewart delivers the self aware straight-man goods.

It’s one of the most hated ads in a while. All of my non-advertising friends either thought it was stupid or were just outright mad at it.

Everyone thought LeBron was retiring and it ended up being something that conceptually had nothing to do with “The Decision,” or any decision for that matter.

Define “worked.” It got people’s attention, but did a lot of damage to LeBron’s credibility and made people hate the ad.

It’s also a lame spot that doesn’t really do anything to play off the Decision. They cried wolf.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
