Adage. Article. Break. You know the drill.
As we approach the one-year anniversary of President Barack Obama’s election into office, it’s hard to forget the endless array of TV, radio, internet and social-media campaigns that catapulted him to popularity. In reminiscing, I couldn’t help but wonder whatever happened to the president’s dream-team of marketing experts. Where were they know? Fortunately, I didn’t have to wonder very long. Read More
Take a break and enjoy some Ad Age:
Oh, Verne, how have you gotten here? We couldn’t get enough of you as Mini-Me. We laughed and cried with you in “The Surreal Life.” And we were glued to your every wince in your infamous sex tape. So where did things go wrong? … Read More
Another adage.com installment:
Howdy folks! Do you recognize this herd of law protecting gunslingers? I’ll give you a little hint.
