The Ten Advertising Agency Commandments
1. Behold, I am advertising, your soul belongs to me. Thou shalt not have any passions before me.
2. Thou shalt hit the unhitable deadlines with relatively high frequency in attempt to achieve immortal advertising rock legend status.
3. Thou shalt re-prioritize thy day on the fly as deadlines turn into drop-dead-deadlines.
4. Thou shalt not talk shit, unless shit has indeed hit the floor.***
5. Thou shalt take full accountability towards all acts you touch, and full responsibly no matter the project’s outcome.
6. Thou shalt honor thy Senior and Junior.
7. Thou shalt not steal ideas. Internally or Externally. Period.
8. Thou shalt be a good listener. Exceptional Listeners make exceptional problem solvers.
9. Thou shalt be eccentric in at least 7 unique ways.
10. Thou shalt learn to laugh at thyself and thy career. Humor is Holy.
***First, shit has never hit a fan. That’s just a cliché. But shit has hit the floor, and trust me… If you’ve ever seen shit actually hit the floor, you know that even the most vulgar of profanities are fair game.
