WASHINGTON (AdAge.com) — An FTC commissioner warned cellphone content providers they need to do a better job of disclosing the costs consumers incur when clicking or downloading services for their mobile devices.

Outstanding Mission Statements: 10th in a Series

iamnotforsale.jpg

Sean Howard, Director of Strategy and Innovation at Lift Communications, a brand experience studio in Toronto, Canada, has an interesting new mantra for his personal site, Craphammer.

I am not for sale.

Is not everything for sale? Does not everyone have their price?

I have a job yet no company owns my soul. I am paid for my insight yet not even I control my muse. I am paid to speak, yet my voice can remain free.

This online space is a privilege and a refuge for me. It is a place of others and more than me and my words. It is a conversation and as such it is not mine to sell.

There are those who wish influence and desire a candy coated portrayal of reality. This is not the place for these people. This is where I share how I see the world and that, like me, is not for sale.

I admire Sean Howard’s purity. Almost as much as I covet the earnings of someone like Heather Armstrong, who allegedly makes $40,000/month from her site.

Copywriter totally sucks, gets decent job

Yutaka_tsujinophoto Seattle agency Creature has hired 35-year-old copywriter Yutaka Tsujino, formerly of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, based almost solely on the consensus opinion that the guy completely sucks. Jim Haven, co-founder and creative director at Creature, seems to have based his hiring decision mostly on this letter and on the Yutaka Sucks Web site. The latter features humorous anti-Yutaka testimonials, one of which begins: “Yutaka is the biggest scumbag I’ve ever been around. He stinks. I know all the ideas he has ‘come up with’ are something he ripped off from weird ads in Japan. You know Japan is a crazy country, so there is tons of weird shit he steals from. It pisses me off because our creative directors here think it’s funny but don’t take us seriously.”
