One intern student.

Baffled.
By the lack spraymount.
"The startup" coming soon to a warehouse near you.
Coudal suggests a dramatic thriller that we all can sympathize with:
How far would you go
to look into the eyes of the killer
of your perfect layout?Would you sacrifice everything?
Would you betray your partner?
Would you give up lattes?Coming this fall...

They took his point and pica-ruler,
his burnisher
his T-square
and his Letraset rubdown font sheets
but when they came for his X-ACTO knife
they messed with the wrong old school AD
"Slasher" paper-cuts never stung like this.
Rated R for Retro.

PermalinkIn a world where commission was king
And suits ruled with a proactive fist...
Where mindless drones worshipped paradigms,
but didn't know how to spell it...
Where ideas were crushed...
Where drivel was spewed...
One creative,
Armed with only a brief,
A brilliant notion
And a triple-shot latte,
Went renegade.
A loose cannon against an army of Armani.
A brainstorm amongst a pleated wasteland.
Only he could save the jewel that he loved.
The gem that could save...
The entire account.
The Spec.
Coming this October to a boardroom near you.

PermalinkWhere do you hide

Then one you trust the most
Hides a murderous intent
behind a fatherly facade?

PermalinkHave you ever had a idea Neo that you were sure was real great.
What if you were unable to shake that idea.
How would you know the difference between the hack idea and the great idea?
"What is happening to me?"
"The answer is out there Neo, it's the question that drives us."
"What is a Great Ad?"
The ad school is the adworld that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
What truth?
So you are here to save the adworld. What do you need?
Markers. Lots of Markers.
"No one has ever done anything like this before."
Unfortunately, no one can be told, what a Great Ad is.
You have to see it for yourelf.

PermalinkFor years it lived in a manila file folder
Sometimes forgotten, sometimes lovely glanced at...
It waited and waited until the time was right.
And now...
The Brief has come.
And it's time for The Big Idea to come out of hiding and show the world how it gets done.
The Idea. Who knew it could be like this?
Coming to a media outlet near you.

PermalinkOne woman.
One dream.
One glass ceiling for her to break through.
Will she have to sacrifice everything else in order to make to the big corner office?
Can she do it without sleeping her way to the top?
Can she get the respect she deserves from her male counterparts?
Can she do it without being called a bitch?

PermalinkNo turning back.
Nowhere to hide.
You just have to do it.
The spec is inevitable coming to an end.
Feel the fright from the suit
Taste the sweat of the art director
and the swell sweater of the copywriter.
They are coming.
They are near.
Watch The return of the customer at a TV in the wild.

PermalinkIn a building beyond imagination
A building that scrapes the sky
One man
On the fifty-third floor
Is about to run out of time.
He has two hours to reconstruct
the last three months of his life
or he will be killed...
Mercilessly.
His copywriter partner is missing.
His traffic manager doesn't care.
And his AEs are going to write off the time anyway,
But if he fails in this one mission...
It's all over, until next time.

PermalinkOne night
One party
Booze flowed
The digital pictures were snapped.
AEs and Media planners were under the table-
Photocopies were made of the receptionist arse.
And people were hooking up left and right.
But what happens the next morning?
When the hangovers disappear?
When the photos get passed around?
Would you survive the Morning After the Agency Holiday Party?

PermalinkJonathan Moore has a dream.
To be the first man.
To have a say.
Against the monsters.
Of mass-manipulation.
Obstinacy.
Persistency.
Perseverance.
Is key.
In a world.
Of know-it-alls.
This holiday season.

Shoot what a shame to see it end just as it was getting a second wind -- these were all really funny, I could see "Slasher" being a low budget Japanese gore-flick. ;) The winner is : The Art Director's Time Sheets. But all of these were dang funny. :)
