A couple of the comments on my last Draft/FCB post were so dead on, I am repeating them here for your deeper enjoyment and appreciation…
Let's face it, Harries is a no talent hack. He had Becker at his side due to the fact that Becker was a spineless yes man who had no idea of what an idea was, a perfect fit for Harries, at least they had a lot in common. Becker came from a 'direct' background so you would have thought Howard would have loved him. So they push him out and bring in another guy who, from what I have read, has been in the FCB network system for a while in other markets, in other words a 'company man', and we all know that company men are not 'change agents', they are yes men who know where their bread is buttered, so basically just another Becker. So he fails and they can't work out why. They must be morons or simply don't care. If they truly wanted to improve that agency they would bring in someone who would challenge them and push for better work. I Googled this Simons character and only found an announcement of him joining the agency in Nov 2008. Did he not do anything to incr ease his presence in NYC or the US? Prospective clients must have been asking "Michael Who?" What is it with the so called leaders of this agency, are they all so utterly clueless? They are in the business of selling things yet they can't sell themselves. You have to feel sorry for the next schmuck who takes on that CCO role at DRAFTFCB NY. But, someone will do it for the money I'm sure.
When will this shit pile of an agency just close its doors and disappear. What have they ever done since becoming "The Agency Of The Future"? Word on the street is that the healthcare division will take over, they evidently dominate the bottom line performance of the agency and even have more staff than the main agency. If they lose Kraft/Nabisco they will be left with nothing worth doing. The work they for for Jamaica Tourism is a joke, they supposedly have Gerber but am yet to see anything resembling "creativity" on that brand, and their work for Nivea For Men looked like it was written and made in 1985. And that work for the Census is embarrassing. There's one solution, just lock the doors and walk away like it never happened. No one will miss DRAFT FCB, it will all seem like a bad dream and everyone can move on. Howard can go back to the only thing he knows, and that's filling up people's mail boxes with useless mailers and coupons.
Good stuff guys, absolutely reinforces my opinion of quite possibly the worst fucktard agency in the fucking world!!!
I like this guy Parker... Is he a SouthAfricanTard?
