A View From An AdGuy: Dear Mr Droga and Others There is a Talent Pool

About A View From An Adguy

I wasn't sure I would ever get into this blogging thing... ever. But the time has come and here is the home of my thoughts, advice, references, tales, passion and feelings on advertising and the life involved within.

When I decided this was to be a "new" method or additional "voice" to my teaching, motivating and inspiring for my students and friends, my first thoughts turned immediately to time.

TIME! Something we all value and never seem to have enough of. That will be my guide. TIME. I will use mine wisely and respect yours, making the post relevant and timely.

So welcome. Spend some of your valuable time here hopefully to learn, share, be inspired, and maybe even entertained.

Dear Mr Droga and Others There is a Talent Pool

There is a vast talent pool of young and hungry creatives looking for a break. Some are more creative then others then there is...

Meet Sean Norman Stewart.

Is he some kind of film guy (I gather this from his website that doesn't really enlighten us with details)... comedian... copywriter... adguy... hmmmmm! (Note: AdGuy is a coveted title even if it's self-proclaimed)

Not really sure actually what he is, but like many a creative before him, Sean has decided that a video cover letter to an agency might land him a gig.

In this case, the agency in question is Droga5. Yes, the highly creative and cutting edge thinkers.

The 24-year old's video is heavy on the irony (cliche) and light on the substance. Sean rounds off his pitch with the promise that hiring him will "maximize your partner's pleasure in bed." Great, sexual innuendo Hmmmmm.... (see your lecture notes on that).

Sigh. Kids today... there's no reasoning with 'em.

Sean? I wish you luck, dude. Totally.

Check out Sean's website.
