I thought it was pretty good and will be effective for the market. I also think Crispen is being held to higher standards because of their relentless press coverage. Had this come from any other agency, I wonder the reaction. I only wish other agencies would take on this cross-media creative style, which is how I was trained. I guess we'll have to wait another 5 years till so many of the old CD's--who only think in TV and Print and maybe a website 'game'--move on?
Wow, what an ironic cooincidence. At first, I figured if they had never gotten rid of Charlie, this probably would never have happened, because Charlie could've swam up and saved him. But then I realized charlie, a common tuna accustomed to salt water, would surely have died in the chlorinated pool, leaving us with a double tragedy. It is pretty sad though. But at least after reading his bio, it sounds like had a fulfilling, interesting life, and he did go at a decent age. We could all only wish the same for ourselves. Sorry, Charlie.
I especially like #2,3,& 4. -The cult's leaders center the veneration of members upon themselves.
It's like down in Cannes. All these characters throwing exclusive soirees and acting like rockstars. Funny thing is, average people have no idea, nor care, who they are. Granted, it's fun to live it up and play out the fantasy...we all do it. It's one of the perks to this business. But once you start taking yourself too seriously, it's really kinda sad. My friend was turned away from one of the parties down there because he was in shorts. The doorman, with a straight face, looked at him and said "you cannot wear short pants or you will insult Mr. ." My friend replied "Monsieur, how are shorts an insult to a man who sells tampons and cigarrettes for a living?"
Hahaha. I see that image is them pitching the idea to Publicis...
F+F: "Hi Guys. We want to open our own agency in our own country and we want you to subsidize it."
Publicis: "What are you crazy? No way. Why don't you just become ECD's at one of our existing shops and help us win some new biz?"
F+F: "But...we're F+F...we really are the greast thing since sliced baguettes!!"
Publicis: "No."
F+F: "We'll name the agency Marcel. We'll even design the logo so it looks like his mug."
Publicis: (Long...sad sigh) "Aww, ok."
And so it was! Good on them!

Boring. That's the funny thing with new media and big event ideas. Everyone's trying to do them now. But they are so hard, there is no room for error. Either they're amazing and stand out, or they totally suck and look like a huge waste of money. It's a thin line and it looks like CK is about to trip.
