Handle the Ad Biz and Burp Your Baby at the Same Time

Ad biz babiesUpon reading a recent article on CNN.com, “7 Great Places To Work,” I happened upon Maya, a creative consulting firm in Pittsburgh, PA. At Maya, once an employee and new parent finishes his or her paternal or maternal leave, the creative agency allows the parent to bring that newborn baby to work.

This article got me thinking: if this industry is supposed to be on the cutting edge and creative, then how come more advertising, design, marketing, and other communication companies do not top these types of lists?

As this industry demands more and more hours and brain power, some “big idea power” must be allotted for the HR department.

Buick’s New Line and New Attitude

2010-buick-lacrosse-conceptBob Lutz, General Motor Co.’s Vice Chairman for Marketing revealed Buick’s new tagline to Automotive News, said to be launched Monday, September, 21. “The new class of world class,” is the new statement for what is currently a vague, “Take a look at me now.”

The new tagline is definitely more concentrated on attracting a higher class of people, which seems to be the direction Buick is heading. It all seems to be part of Lutz’s aggressive “return from retirement” brand renovation. The push is certainly onward and upward.

On its way, however, Lutz and Buick stopped briefly to dis the ever-popular Lexus. Los Angeles has been the venue for a series of “knocks” at the luxury brand with billboards stating, “EX your Lexus,” and “Goodbye, road rage. Hello, road envy.” At least Buick’s not being subtle.
