My 14yo just told me I'm, "such a vibe," so I'm pretty sure I'm the coolest person to ever exist.

(She also felt the need to explain what that meant, so I'm also the oldest person to ever exist, but we don't have to remember that bit.)

“A poem begins
with a lump in the throat;
a homesickness or
a love sickness.
It is a reaching-out toward expression;
an effort to find fulfilment.
A complete poem is one where an emotion
has found its thought
and the thought has found words.”

–Robert Frost

Ad agencies, advertising themselves. Leo Burnett, 1964. "When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either." #advertising #adsforadagencies

For an industry that claims to value brands, we sure do a poor job of branding. #advertising #adsforadagencies

Ad agencies, advertising themselves. Leo Burnett, 1999. "A talking tiger. A doughy little chef. A scantily clad man with a box of mints. 64 years of brands that work, and there's more where that came from, baby." #advertising #adsforadagencies

“What need is there to weep over parts of life? The whole of it calls for tears”
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca

As someone who lately finds herself weeping out of a kind of rebellious joy, I must agree 🥲❤️

Thank you! It was delish 😋

So glad you enjoyed it ✨️

Great podcast alert: Strangers on a Bench 🥰. A beautiful listen in its own right, but (sorry to talk shop) if you truly wish to be a 'data-driven marketer' it's 'ordinary' stories like these that do the most to sharpen your insticts on human behaviour. Helps keeps that data honest ❤️

You're not wrong 🙃

Thank you, Alastair 🙌💪... it's worth a try, right?!
