Apparently, all the advertising and traffic in the world still won't keep a website alive these days.

According to dotcom death chronicler fuckedcompany.com , AdCritic.com has found that it's uncommercial and pulled the plug.

A lack of response from their URL confirms this.

Women washing their face in face wash commercials

Dear Ad Agencies, and whomever this may concern:

We see shampoo commercials featuring women washing their hair in the shower. Prell, Pert Plus, and Herbal Essences commercials feature women washing their hair in the shower.

Now, let's look at your typical face wash commercial. Women with her hair tied back, splashes some water on her face, at the sink. Then she lathers up with a face wash, and then splashes water on her face to rinse it.

So the question is: Why don't we see women washing their face in the shower in face wash ads?

Stopping advertising to save money, is like stopping your watch to save time.

PLEASE ADVERTISE

Seems everywhere we look, massfirerings are happening. 10% of the danish advertising professionals have walked to their offices for the last time. W+K have slashed staff worldwide.
In Stockholm the freelancers gang is growing to critical mass. Large agencies in the u.s. calls staffers to the friday meeting ("we feel, it's better to fire on Fridays") as morality sinks to mimic the agencies golden cow account tagline, like a Rock.

Did you know that No Logo by Naomi Klein finally did make paperback? Did you also notice that amazon.com has a 42 pages excerpt?

Lost the pitch - but your idea still used?

Most creatives have seen this happen. They work hard on a pitch, loose it despite their hard work. Think nothing of it, and a while later, said client runs something that looks a lot like your refused ideas.
