When the Bogusky of Crispin Porter + Bogusky famously exited the industry in August, he made a special mention of a few copywriters that he regarded as some of the most super, extra talented that he'd ever worked with. Among them was Bill Wright - CP+B Vice-President, and Creative Director on the agency's Burger King account. Just imagine thinking about all of those Whoppers and fries all day! Anyway, we hear that he’s responsible for some of the tightest work to come out of the agency. We ... Read More! »

Just the other day I was on a train with a bunch of schoolkids who were bandying around the rather random expression “Don’t forget the bison”. Now I have no idea what it meant. Nor do I know if I will ... Read More! »

We've all been there. It's a waiting game to find the job you want -- or even just a job in the industry. But as Stan tells us, say yes to every door that opens. Fussiness won't necessarily get you where you want to be. Imagine, after months or possibly years of searching, you finally get offered a job. Except it may not be exactly the job you wanted. Decisions, decisions. Do you turn it down and keep on searching? Do you take it, but keep your ears open for something ... Read More! »
