Hi Chuck,
My questions are:
1. What’s your favourite CP+B press ad?
2. What’s your favourite press ad of all time?
Do you think advertising agencies are too obsessed with using new technologies? Do we run the risk of just trying to be cool instead of selling more products?
Where do you buy your shirts?
CP+B NZ?
Do Crispin Porter still do newspaper ads?
What makes a great client?
Are advertising agencies too obsessed with winning awards?
And does this lead us down a relentless path of making every advert new, and revolutionary, when the tried and true methods may be more effective?
And lastly, why are Effectivness awards (Effies) seen as the ‘poor cousins’ to Creative awards, when Effies are the only true recognition that the advert actually did it’s job?
Hi Chuck
What rocks your boat when it comes to a great press ad?
Hey Chuck.
New Zealanders get a real kick out of foreigners saying nice stuff about New Zealand.
Do you have any nice things to say about New Zealand?
Hi Chuck,
Other than work your ass to the bone. Do you have any other advice for a jnr creatives?
do you think advertising agencies are too obsessed with new technologies in ads and are focusing less on emotional connections?
Chuck, you appear to be a completely grown man. How come in this part of the world we’re lead to believe you’re past it at 30?
If you won $10,000 (US$6,863.85), what would you do?
Hey Chuck,
People like talking about advertising being a completely different game these days. But is it really? I mean, we’re still just selling shit aren’t we?
Hi Chuck,
What advice could you give a new ad agency starting out when looking for new clients?
It’s almost 4pm on a Friday. Is it ok to have a beer?
Hi Chuck,
What about Planners? Do you have any thoughts on planning’s contribution to the greater good in the agency of today?
Chuck – what was your favourite year in advertising? I wasn’t there but 1994 looked pretty good.
What websites do you visit religiously?
Hi Chuck
If you were a client which agencies apart from CP+B would you like to have working for you? Who’s doing the best work out there at present?
1) What’s in it for suits these days?
2) Do you feel advertising is becoming increasingly irrelevant?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, Chuck?
