It’s not just the name of this blog. It’s what I used to call advertising, when I was young and naïve and happy to be both.
But, I was also happy to attend the annual ad show at the Groaning Board in Toronto (and, later, at the Bloor Cinema). Watching commercials from all over the world was really fun…and frothy man! That is a reference to the drink, Cresta.
But, I digress. My point (should you wish to accept it) is that I’ve been around long enough to see some very good and some very bad advertising and to have developed some notions about the “genre.” So, I’m going to take this opportunity to express my opinion on what I’m seeing, now.
I hope you enjoy it.
