Hollywood actresses as Madison Ave. icons

Utzricci2_4

Jezebel has put together a fun list of the Top 10 Female Product Advertising Icons & The Actresses Who Could Replace Them. Our favorite is probably Christina Ricci as the Utz girl. (Ricci would dive into the part, having admitted earlier this year: “I eat crap. I’m an inconsistent eater—all the things you’re not supposed to be.

Walmart-Style Travelogue

Agency Tart reporting from the front lines of Adlandia, confirms that this is a tough business.

In Boston today for a huge online branding presentation to my biggest client. My nemesis agency was there as the client’s overall brand presence. What corporate ass-kissing fuckheads.
