What's with people on LinkedIn praising old ads we've all seen like crazy? Now it's the turn of the Bic ad. Even a C suite at my agency posted it. Like if you're in advertising and don't know that ad, tf have you been doing? I left ad school thinking people took these as the basics, turns out no one has a solid base. It's cool being ignorant and rediscovering these prints now.

What’s with people on LinkedIn doing anything? They’re hoping someone sees their post, remembers they exist, and wants to pay them or their company.

What’s encouraging is after last year I’ve seen much less of this from the csuite. A report came out that LinkedIn activity didn’t lead to new or existing business results.

People still doing this are laggards.

I think the point of it all is because so much of today’s work sucks. Nobody is creating good work. 95% of it is crap. That’s why they’re posting stuff that is art and timeless and truly made brands into mega brands They’re posting it because they want to inspire the creative talent of today to do better.

No idea what turn of the Bic is. Is it related to Bic bringing back an old concept a couple weeks back?

I’m over here digging into my empty brain thinking about lighters.

There’s no way an older ad person could be nostalgic. The most preposterous thing I could even imagine.

I wish it was nostalgia. They post it as something new, as something they just discovered. It's ridiculous.
