New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media
The “G” in Greed, Sex, Drugs & Money, Bill Gurasich, is spreading his wings beyond the advertising world to focus on a retail project in Austin. Part of that ambitious project is to turn a parking lot into a 90-room boutique hotel, two restaurants and a mix of retailers. Work will begin in November with completion slated for 2010.
Do you know how Greed, Sex got their start? From chutzpah kind of like what Gurasich is displaying above. In 1970, six friends were attending the University of Texas. You know, smoking weed, chillaxing, when the dean of students asked them create an orientation film. The six (Roy Spence, Tim McClure, bros Steve and Bill Gurasich, Judy Trabulsi and Jim Darilek) were known as the “Media 70” then. For photos of them during that time period, go here. They produced a video jam packed with icons of the day from Janis Joplin, to the Vietnam War.
And the band was born. Upon graduation in 1971, they came up with the idea of starting an advertising agency together. They initially used the name AdVantage Associates, but later changed it to Gurasich, Spence, Darilek & McClure. Judy decided she wouldn’t be listed, since she was going to get married and leave the firm. Despite that, all hail an original Cashmere Mafia member. Without her, where would us ladies be?
Oddly, she still uses Trabulsi. Wonder if she regrets that decision, but then… what would they have been? Greed, Sex, Drugs, & Money was part of their little joke, as all of these concepts can be used to sell advertising. Oh! I know! It would have been Greed, Sex, Drugs, Tits And Money. Right. Right.

CHICAGO (AdAge.com) — McDonald's Corp. Tuesday reported same-store sales for August were up 4.5% in the U.S. — a result one analyst estimates will be nearly double the industry average. But industry-watchers are doubtful the company can keep up that pace, especially now that the Olympics are over.

Something new is coming to the advertising block – Search Election. The system is what creator and ad blogger, Tribble, calls a “fixed” AdAge Power 150. In case you didn’t know, he’s a bit pissed with them for not including his blog into the 150 list. From great anger can come great things. In this case, Search Election, which to us is more more like a Power 150 on steroids.
Search Election is sort of like a Digg for advertising, as well as part massive RSS reader. How it works: users can submit and vote on ad stories from across the web. The site also automatically pulls RSS feeds from the top ad blogs including Parker, Adrants, Alan Wolk, Adverganza, Adomatica, Make The Logo Bigger, etc. and allows users to vote those stories to the front page or down into the bowels of the site. What fun!
If you sign up today, know that the site is in beta, expect some kinks. The full launch will take place some time this week. Now, why didn’t Mediabistro think of this? Sigh. Next time killer. Next time.
