David Armano of Critical Mass knows how to talk the talk.
We’re focused on relevant, groundbreaking solutions that fuse style and substance—insight driven creative, supported by technology, which ultimately leads to measurable results. Not merely flashy creative or fleeting viral campaigns, but rather, applications that shift consumer behavior, brand experiences that deepen customer relationships and game-changing strategies that meaningfully impact the bottom line.
Apparently, Armano also walks the walk. In this same post he mentions that he’s “making a leap from leading teams to leading an entire department of over 40 people.” In an interesting twist, Armano humbly asks himself (and his readers) if he’s ready for the promotion.
Ad Age chose Goodby Silverstein and Partners as its agency of the year.
Two things jumped out at me from the article. GSP’s understanding of content’s central role in our business.
“Content is an evolution of where agencies are going,” Mr. Silverstein says. “We have become a content house. We, in a sense, are our own Pixar. [In 2008] I hope to evolve to a point where we make more content for our clients and ourselves.”
And the challenges GSP continues to face.
David Roman, VP-worldwide marketing communications, Personal Systems Group at Hewlett-Packard, who praises the agency for significant contributions to HP’s success, also says Goodby still has to master the social web and work out its position on public relations, where the line with advertising has begun to blur.
Content, the social web and pr are intertwined practices that help create conversation around a brand. By next year at this time, I’m sure GSP and others will have solved some of the riddles native to this new culturescape.
