Even the purest of messages can be corrupted by the power of a bag.

OK addies. You voted, we whined, and MediaBistro made good on setting up a little party for all of us at Chelsea Brewery. The best part is, all you have to do is RSVP (by clicking here), then show up.

The brewery is at Chelsea Piers, and will be held on September 30 (Tuesday) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. It’s free, and we (uh…I) accept all forms of drinks. On that note, I will be the AS representative, as both Spywriter and SuperSpy are, obvi, anonymous.

Consider this fiesta an opportunity to mingle with addies in a stress free environment, share war stories with 34 year-old veterans and stare off into the New Jersey sunset over the Hudson. It’ll be both beautiful and disgusting all at once.

We personally can’t wait to shake your hands, but ask that you save the shin kicking until we’ve had at least one drink. Chelsea brewery is an award winning establishment, and is the only brewery on Manhattan, so savor the malty goodness &#151 and if you feel up to the task, loudly describe your agency’s dirtiest details to the person standing next to you. We’ll take care of the rest!

Did we mention that you can RSVP here?

Are ad campaigns given enough time to work these days?

The things that over the years have come to symbolize brands like logos–and in particular, taglines—are being changed to quickly and so often that it’s hard to keep up. Consequently, no one does.

We all know how it works: Every time a new CMO comes along, he/she hires a new agency. And suddenly everyone at both the client and agency feel the need to piss on the marketing landscape and mark their turf. Which means a new campaign, a new tagline, a new logo, etc. It’s change for change’s sake.

It’s the subject of my new column on Talent Zoo. Read the entire column after the jump:
