Wow. This has really captured the imagination of our industry.
It’s been said before but let me say it again.
It’s a great vehicle for young talent to get some exposure but it’s also the cheapest way a client can get an ad (many ads) made and get some exposure – which fundamentally undermines the advertising and production community who loose all opportunity to work for that client.
A nice idea. Production and performance OK, but it doesn’t raise any bars.
Discuss.
