Greenhouse a no go

So I guess the whole production line doesn't work for me or so thought my previous employer. So now I move on to the professional side of Temp work. What I am still longing to do is work 14 hour days for minimum wage for an adverting agency. I will work for free and I seem that I still can't find what I am looking for.

So enough of my complaining. Let's look at today's advertising. Today we will look at TV ads, everyone knows them and has their favorite. I find that TV ads can be memorable although they don't really always deliver what the client wants. Let me give you some examples;

Go Daddy.com

Ugh, everyone has to realize that these are for shock value but ask the person walking down the street what do they do? anyone? does anyone actually know that they do website domain names and web hosting. Funny seems that with all that money spent on their commercials at least you would hope that people could walk away knowing what they actually do.

Here is another that I am sick of,

Budweiser, yeah the king of beers and Lately DDB the agency in charge of their creative design is dropping the ball. Here is Budweiser's next years Superbowl commercial. Ready here we go open on a barn with a Clydesdale some sort of sappy story line, insert Datamation, show Clydesdale running and close. Thirty seconds later and 3.4 million in the hole Budweiser is no better off then they were before the game.

Ok, last but not least is every single car ad on the market that shows the car driving around mountains and driving through back road trails and every instance in between. So let's see I take cookie cutter car ad insert new car to show the wonders of the handling, the versatility of any car that they want to buy. What makes this worth even putting out there, take your thirty second commercial take it and divide it into two :15 spots and then show the financing options and take the media planner and have them split up the spots to reach a greater audience.


I guess people have thought of this before but waited for me to post it on here that makes it official. I really need to start working in an agency.

Where to work

Considering the options, I am currently working at a Staffing Firm working in a greenhouse. Obviously this isn't where I want to be. What I would like to do is start working in Advertisng in some form as soon as possible. I will most likely work until I have saved enough to either move to a larger city and hopefully be able to land an entry level position in the Account Services side; Or Decide that I need to go back to school and work on a advanced degree.

I think its silly to see that every job I come across needs 1-3 years experience. I have had that experience in school and have worked in a variety of customer service roles. I only hope that someone will take the time to interview me and realize that if you give me a chance that I can exceed expectations.

I hope that this will show my experiences and abilities to hopefully let me be given the chance that I feel that I deserve. I hope to contribute to this once a week and talk about the Advertising industry and where I see it can be improved. My opinion may not seem like a big deal to some, but there is a problem with today's Ideas. Stay Tuned
