A funny thing happened when I reached for my Armani suit…
That’s so weird. I was going to celebrate the completion of my second screenplay yesterday with a few posts about various things, when I took a break for a quiet dinner with two buddies. One Stella led to another — as Stellas often do — and I woke up hours later in the Fox Studios […]
Greatest American Zero
Dateline: LOS ANGELES August 1990 Way back in my old agency days I sat down in my office overlooking the multimillion dollar south of the boulevard homes and the phone rings. It’s a buddy of mine that works for Good Housekeeping and she needs me to be the handler for Connie Sellecca for her November […]
R.I.P. Macho Man
Back in 1988 I was a kid. Barely 20, but already leading major accounts in the marketing battlegrounds. Guilty pleasures back then weren’t sneaking in some KC and the Sunshine Band or Go-Go’s songs, it was professional wrestling.

Chewing Gum at the Office
Just another day at the office. The call from my side went something like this: “Montana, huh?” “You want to test your new product into Montana?” “But, why?” Twenty minutes later I took my directive and charted a marketing solution. But first it was time to speak with the natives. Or near natives. I have […]

Advertising: Edgy or Over the Line?
Spirit Airlines had quite a 2010. Holding 200 passengers on a New York tarmac for hours and refusing to give water or bathroom breaks. Charging $45 for a carry-on bag. Stranding 16,000 passengers with a seemingly impromptu strike. Now the low-cost airline is making a new name for themselves: Frat Boy Advertising. Edgy and crude, […]
