This Brand Life

Daily struggles of life at the marketing department of a brand. Honest tidbits of office life. Having worked at several agencies, we just love the "This Advertising Life" blog. However, now being "on the other side" we feel that there is a great deal of things unsaid. And why not use the coolest gifs to do it? Follow @ThisBrandLife !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs'); (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=140956699409447"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
