Primus: Prison Fix Up

On January 30, 2017, at 10:30 PM, under the pretext of poor prison conditions reported by E.U., the government passed an emergency ordinance that would help corrupt politicians escape justice and this decision lead to Romania’s greatest post communism protest.

Primus, a small brand of construction materials, focused on responsible honest handymen, wanted to show support for a protest that fights dishonest decisions.

The brand made a public commitment to solve the heart of the issue: if the government repeals the ordinance in due time, Primus will donate renovation materials for fixing up Romanian prisons. Each day the government postponed the decision, the brand would help renovate less prisons. Thus, 18 prisons are today renovated with Primus adhesives, grout and concrete screed.

Q&AA: SNL's Sure-Shot Photographer


Mary Ellen Matthews has put some of the biggest celebrities in the world in some strange situations. She’s wedged Andy Samberg into an olive in a martini glass, dressed up Sarah Silverman as a chambermaid and had real-life Donald Trump spritz ersatz Trump hairspray on his coif. It’s all part of her job as lead photographer for “Saturday Night Live,” where her portraits, including those iconic bumpers that appear before and after the commercials, are as integral to NBC’s sketch comedy show as Kate McKinnon’s Kellyanne Conway impersonation.

Matthews celebrates her 25th anniversary with the show this year, having joined as an assistant photographer in 1992 and rising to lead photographer in 1999, succeeding the great Edie Baskin.

Now in its 43rd season, “SNL” is arguably more relevant now than in Matthews’ earliest days at Studio 8H, where the show broadcasts from inside 30 Rockefeller Center. “SNL” is enjoying its second-most-watched season in 23 years, just behind the previous one, which averaged over 11 million viewers per episode.

The Disruptive Agency Model


In a recent Ad Age post, I heralded a new era for agencies where “quality scale” was new revenue created through the design of trusted user experiences that can be deployed at scale. This level of sophisticated marketing design is beyond the scope of ad tech platforms or management consulting firms with their limited executional, real-world experience; presenting agencies with a potent new growth area.

That vision set the stage so now let’s turn our attention to the practical details which will require, perhaps, challenging almost everything we think we know about how agencies are run today.
