I have been telling you ‘till I’m blue in the face that WPP will buy Interpublic this year. That was AdScam's Official Ball-Busting Insight #1. Now more on the upcoming demise of Apple from TBWA. Yes, I posted about this on Friday. It was part of my Dalai Lama rant on last weeks BeanCast. Late on Friday, it was announced that TBWA LA has a new CEO, Luis DeAnda, who replaces Carisa Bianchi of bicycle fame, who has been there longer than Lee Clow… No, just taking the piss, Lee has been at Chiat since before Jay and Guy founded the place. Anyway, Chiat – fuck it, I refuse to call them TBWA – has been losing out on a lot of pitches recently that they were expected to win. And, as long as GodJobs was alive, he would keep the Apple business with Lee/Chiat. Now, Lee who is fucking nearly as old as me! Is less and less involved with the biz. Hence the new blood. But, you know what… I would keep Lee on a Peruvian Marching Powder drip or fucking monkey glands or something, ‘cos that’s your only chance of holding on to the Apple account. Oh, and you might want to look at the product,,, ‘Cos the work out of TBWA.LA, is really beginning to suck! Correction… AdWeek had the story on Thursday… Good for them!
"Surfer Media Gnarly Labs." Fuck Yeah. That should do it!
