Today I’d like to announce that Omnicom Production, Publicis Production, and WPP will merge and form one global domination as OmniPubPP Productions. Together we will shoot billions of internal videos of our 800x C-Suite officers and continue to output Millions of GenAI pitch videos and we vow to continue to not have a clue about how to actually compete with actual production companies, but our stockholders who have no idea how this all works will think this means we will drive more revenue!

I need advice from younger 🐠 who are closer to my son’s age than I am. He’s finishing up his 1st year in college and he’s gained the Freshman 15+. He plays a college sport, so he’s getting some activity, but with classes a hybrid of in-person and online, he’s not as active as usual and I think he’s enjoying unlimited food on his dining plan. I’ve heard jokes about the Freshman 15, but not seen how this plays out. Is this common? Do most people lose it when they adjust to college?

Any downsides to leaving a “Counsel” role and moving into a “Legal Affairs” role? Still practicing and representing the company, just a difference of titles, so core work remains the same - what do you think?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.

Two truths, no lies:

I’ve been reading alot of Les Binet books/reports I’m new to how proper advertising work! I’m mostly focused on digital. But now wanting to get a grip of the bigger picture!

Les Binet mentions alot about brand building and activations, sometimes he will point to out to similar case studies and he would say this is brand building and this is an activation but they are very similar?

Is there books? Coaches? Resources to explain brand building vs activations? W examples for the QSR sub sector?

I don’t work at the big LA shops (Deutsch/Chiat/72) because I don’t want to be worked to the bone 80 hours a week and abused. Also, because no one has ever reached out. But mostly the former.

Whomever is doing the tv placement for Advocate Healthcare in Chicago: do you have to have the ad going every other commercial? If I hear “come on get healthy” one more time, I’m leaving the state.

Just saw a post on LinkedIn where the ECD of a mid-sized agency praised a large group of employees showing up to a shoot and acting as extras and principals for free for a client spot. He is super proud that for the team rallying together for work that “wasn’t even that interesting”…This doesn’t read as teamwork to me, it reads as the client exploiting the agency and the agency exploiting it’s workers…it’s a job not a school project? Or am I just overthinking this? Maybe?

How do you get a tv spot produced that has an actual idea behind it? In 2017, what percentage of tv spots do you think revolved around an idea?

It looks like a TV spot. It’s scripted like a TV spot. It last 30 seconds. But my boss forbids me to say it’s a tv commercial. Instead it’s online digital content. Yes, that will make the trick.
