20 Years of Lessons in 30 Minutes

Editor's Notes

  • #2: \n
  • #3: \n
  • #4: At Cornell, we didn’t have an advertising program but at the time we had a student-run advertising and public relations firm. I started as a copywriter and became account director, creative director and president.\n
  • #5: We had several accounts including student-run businesses but one highlight was when Delfino Pasta wanted to work with Cornell to build the world’s largest lasagna and get in the Guinness Book of World Records. I handled local advertising and PR and my logo for it was a giant fork. It whet my appetite for big stunts which you’ll see again later.\n
  • #6: We made it in the Guinness Book, although only briefly since a bigger lasagna was made in Ireland the next year. Without meat! So Lesson 1 is to think big and be bold. \n
  • #7: Interviewing for jobs after college (also during a recession) I was looking for creative jobs but also for other kinds of jobs in advertising. I got a call to interview at Brandt Publications who produced Interview , created by Andy Warhol.\n
  • #8: But it was really for Antiques. Ended up turning it down.\n
  • #9: \n
  • #10: My amateur book wasn’t getting me into places but I did nail the typing test at FCB.\n
  • #11: Worked for 6 creative directors but the exec CD Ted was the one that mattered. He thought my name was Marc.\n
  • #12: First ads that my boss Dennis let me write. Had me buy cookbooks after I failed writing them the first 2x. Taught me how to help people unlock themselves.\n
  • #13: My first tagline. Radio and promo campaign.\n
  • #14: Getting Ted’s attention (it’s this week too)\n\n
  • #15: Another attempt to get Ted’s attention. It worked when we won AT&T.\n
  • #16: \n
  • #17: Things can come to an end not because of your own actions.\n
  • #18: \n
  • #19: Freelanced. Got a lot of jobs doing early Web including for Brandscape. Mama’s Cucina. Gortons of Gloucester. Early content.\n
  • #20: Tried to handle my own clients. This was a really nice photographer who wanted to break into the head shot biz. Measured phone calls.\n
  • #21: Helped run a small business.\n
  • #22: \n
  • #23: A promotion shop and a top digital boutique.\n
  • #24: Some fun work. Some crap work. \n
  • #25: Some fun work. Some crap work. \n
  • #26: Sweepstakes. Promotion. In store. Digital advertising.\n
  • #27: A big shop.\n
  • #28: The creative servers were IBM and Etc.\n
  • #29: \n
  • #30: \n
  • #31: \n
  • #32: Subaru and built J&J.\n
  • #33: I think I produced more in 6 months at R/GA than at Ogilvy for 6 years.\n
  • #34: It was in terrible shape but a chance to run my own office.\n
  • #35: A good return to entrepreneurial, noisy work.\n
  • #36: A story of TBWA’s disruption approach\n
  • #37: \n
  • #38: \n
  • #39: \n
  • #40: A lot of good work the last 3 years but one highlight. \n
  • #41: \n
  • #42: \n
  • #43: \n
