I just found out about this site today, and I really dig the idea! Humble Pied features interviews with creatives (check out the latest post which features Aaron Draplin) over iChat. The advice they share is geared towards recent graduates and folks still finding their way in the industry.
The presentation is super clean and the idea is simple : “One inspiring creative sharing one piece of advice, all over iChat.” Go check it out for yourself!
I caught a new show that I’m starting to dig… Trust Me.
The setting is an advertising agency and it follows a creative group through it’s daily ups and downs. The dialogue is snappy and I like
seeing Ed (of Ed) and Will (of Will and Grace) team up.
One memorable exchange was about taglines. Are taglines old school? Hmmm…
“Just do it. Think different. Kills bugs dead. When you care enough to send the very best. This Bud’s for you. We try harder. The ultimate driving machine. Uh oh Spaghetti-os.”
The thing that had me thinking though was the working relationship within the agency. Everyone is set up in teams. The creative pair works together on new clients and existing accounts, which led me to wonder ‘what if…’
What if we worked in consistent design & development pairs at eROI?
