1) I don’t think anyone can deny that the unfolding new world order will color every part of our lives, including the advertising industry both creatively and in terms of how we do business. What is up for debate is specifically “how” and I think that’s difficult to predict at this time. I received an email update from the company that runs our benefits yesterday attempting answer what the recently signed Executive Orders mean for our business and they may just as well have embedded a gif of Garfield shrugging in the body of the email. Even their best business and lawyerly minds don’t seem to know. Obviously, we’re all hoping for the best.
2) I don’t do New Year’s resolutions - personally or business-wise. They are just something to break. Our continued goal is to collaborate with our partners creatively and financially to put good work out there.
3) I find that every job, every mistake, and every success is an opportunity to learn something for the next time. Hard to pinpoint one as the most relevant. It’s all cumulative.
4) Ha ha—nice try. No resolutions. I meant it.
