George Parker: David Ogilvy 10 years on
One of the funniest Ad-Blogs is AdScam,written by the self-confessed hard drinkin’, hard cursin’, womanisingGeorge Parker. He regularly takes aim at BDA’s (Big DumbAgencies) as can be seen by last week’s “OGILVY IN SERIOUS SHIT… BIG LAYOFFS ON THE WAY!” and “GOT A HEADACHE? TAKE ONE “AGENCY OF THE FUTURE” AND GO KNOCK DOWN SOME SILOS!”. He also calls a spade a shovel like the time he had a go at GodJobs(Steve Jobs) for getting all upset about Microsoft ads that had a go atApple – “IS GODJOBS LETTING THE “LAPTOP HUNTERS” GET UP HIS ARSE?”. A common thread to his blog is an zealous facination of Kate Moss. Who can blame him.
Parker’s blog is well worth catching up with. In a recent post hereminded us that last week was the 10th anniversary of David Ogilvy’sdeath. He wrote this dedication for BrandRepublic in the UK andrepeated on his blog
