What do you do if you are an aspiring copywriter or art director creating untalented work that doesn’t seem to be appreciated by anyone? Organize it in your portfolio, and apply for jobs. If anything is clear from the immense amount of awful advertising out in various forms of media today, it’s this: even if you completely suck at this field, it seems someone is willing to hire you. With the holiday season just around the corner, comes the rise of the worst of the worst: the diamond ads. I want nothing more than to meet the creative team behind the “He went to Jared” Ads, to shake their hands, and then throw hot acid in their face. My holiday season television watching, is ruined with their disgusting filth they call an advertisement. When the time comes for me to buy a diamond for my future wife, I in no way want to be the guy that “went to Jared”. Those guys suck, and succumb to terrible persuasion techniques.
Then some would tell me since my name is Kevin, that I would buy diamonds at Kay, because “every kiss begins with Kay”, right? Wrong. Kay will never be responsible for any kiss in my future relationships because I hate everything about them, thanks to their awful attempts at creativity.
I will go out of my way to avoid any jewelry purchases from Jared or Kay, thanks to those non-creative creatives. But hey, at least someone hired you.
And I’ll admit, there are some ads out there people like, thinking they are somewhat entertaining, but I implore you to understand that they are made by the untalented in advertising. Flo from the progressive Ads is in no way funny, but a nuisance, and serves no benefit to society. I hope the advertising mental asylum guards, lock her up in the straight jacket that psychopath belongs in so that she can no longer be a drain on life.
However, the point of this post is not just to bash advertising I hate. It is to remind the person who’s greatest tagline they’ll ever write is “Head-On, apply directly to the forehead”, that someone lacks the creative intelligence to know that they are undeserving of the label “creative” and you will be able to make some kind of pity-salary.
So keep your head up Mr. Permanent Writers Block. Though your peers and mentors never seem to appreciate all the hard work you put into your mediocre concepts, someone out there is more uncreative than you to not really notice.
This is about right:
