Difference btwn direct and general
Posted on 2007-Mar-15 at 12:06
This chat was a response to IHAI.org's interview with the 3 Co-CCO of Ogilvy NYC's interview.

Stu: dude they talking about intergration
Stu: seeet
Stu: sweet
Stu: i dont get, even what the difference is with a dircet, direct peorson and a generl person, its still print or tv, direct does tv, also the only real diff is interactive cuz we arnt trained in that but i can du tv. direct or traditional there really isnt any diffrence
Stu: so dumb
Ben: true, but direct is really meant for a more immediate CTA (call to action) and more one-on-one CRM (customer relation management)
Stu: direct is just folding a print ad

Ben: general is more brand advertising... no 1-800 # or call now! or buy now!
Stu: but they ahve cahnged that, hence the difference.
Ben: ya totally. it's getting blended
Stu: beyod blended
Stu: i think tthe real difference is if yer a writer, no an art director
Ben: like those Optimum cable TV spots... with the 1800 number on the btm stripe.. thaz considered direct. but then Amalgamated also does brand advertising for Steven Madden
Stu: true
Ben: this is good blog material

Making the front page
Posted on 2007-Mar-7 at 11:08
Yesterday all 4 of my new entries made front-page of the Adblogs section on IHAI.org.

Ok this entry serves more like a filler to bump up my new blog on IHAI.org. But after all, this site is giving away iTunes gift cards to the blogger with most entries! I need my music! Maybe I'll share some with Stu. My BBF.

PS: People are so freaking serious these days. Advertising is about fun!

So I started this blog, my first ever ad blog or just a blog, for fun and dedicating it to Stu. And just now, Stuy from Family Guy just happens to appear in the Random Fuel Game section on this blog template!

Coincidence? I think not.
