Essay 1321


Why do publications dedicated to advertising produce really shitty ads for themselves? (Plus, why does Advertising Age promise to “Reach Your Core Audience” by presenting a photograph featuring a Black man? Given the industry’s dearth of diversity, Black adfolks must account for a teeny tiny core audience.)

Maybe they should just require top agencies to take over the ads and donate their time like they do with pro bono stuff.

Wait, did I just say pro bono. Sorry.

;-p
