The Truth in Ad Sales

A few weeks ago, I came across a short clip about the truth in ad sales from Leo Burnett’s Blog called the fruits of your imagination. It is a great blog. It is also refreshing to see an advertising agency who is embracing new media with honesty and philosophy. The clip is hilarious and is a satire of the sales cycle in a traditional ad agency. If you know other major ad agency with blogs, please let me know as I would like to show a few examples here on how it is possible to incorporate new visions to traditional ad agencies, which still have their focus and attention on interruption marketing. Maybe this will help them reconsider their business model.

2. Ashley,

   The writers of the video are mentioned at the end: Max Wright & James Gibey. From more research, you can find out that Max Wright is actually a TV producer but unfortunately, I was not able to track down his site, a phone number or an email address. It is not that obvious to track the business behind it. Good luck in your research.  AB
