The Agency Attitude


If you ever get a chance to work for an agency, give it a shot. The atmosphere is uptempo, frenetic, work hard/play hard, zany & crazy. You've got lots of creatives wandering the halls (they're the ones in ripped jeans and cool t-shirts). Mad Men this is decidedly not. In fact, I have never seen a realistic representation of a marketing/ad agency (at least not a modern one).

Irreverence is a big part of the overall attitude. Take this example found on top of our vending machines here. The sign on the left was the obvious original warning. The sign on the right appeared recently. Enjoy the chuckle.

This is awesome. I wish there would be little signs like that all over the place at my work!! I guess a corporation would frown upon that. Any job openings there?!? haha. One of my friends who works out in Cali for Fox Interactive told me they have a lounge to play Guitar Hero. How awesome is that?
