As part of its Advertising Week coverage, Adweek thrust critic Barbara Lippert in front of a camera to explain disintermediation and how it’s relevant to the agency business.
Speaking of Advertising Week, Dan Goldgeier made a great point about the industry schmooze fest when he said, “I’m not in New York City. For the last two days, I’ve written for print, broadcast, interactive & promotions #EveryWeekIsAdvertisingWeek.”
Ha! Although I once famously made my feelings known about Advertising Week, I could use a little quality schmooze time. Just can’t expense it or get these other jobs off my desk.
Still, I wish other cities could participate in Advertising Week somehow. I know Baltimore/DC has done some events, but it’d be nice if the rest of the country–or the world–had a way to get onboard without descending on Manhattan.
