As regular readers will already know, Sell! Sell! thinks current advertising creative awards schemes are a bunch of old-man's-cock. It does seem that recently there is a growing tide of public dissatisfaction with the schemes and the negative effect they're having on the business. Have a read of this excellent awards-bashing post over on
The Denver Egotist blog.
Sell! Sell! rants on creative awards...
Old man's cock indeed! Covered in pastry, like a particularly unappealing, sinister sausage roll!
ReplyDeleteAny award that demands an entry fee must be considered suspect. It's hardly surprising that the agencies that win the most awards invest tens of thousands on entry fees each year. Hell, send me a cheque for £50 and I'll give you an award in any category you want.
