A little levity — and the importance of details
I had to smile at this, and thought the others in this forum could use a little levity on a Monday. It’s sad to laugh at other people’s mistakes… but hey, we all do it.
A week or two ago I got an email blast from the local advertising federation about their monthly luncheon, promoting the guest speaker… a media consultant from the neighboring city of Birmingham, named Deon Gordon…
And just now I got another email from the AdFed… simply titled “Oops!”…
Details, people! Details!

What they should do is post two more pictures and make you GUESS
“Which one is the REAL Deon? Come and find out!”THAT’s marketing! 🙂

Looks to me like the picture should PROBABLY say “This is Deon Gordon… and this is his accountant.”

I was looking for the image but couldn’t find it. I’ll describe it, as it is a great visual description of the difference between advertising and marketing.
Same image twice. First version, hitch-hiker, hand-made sign, “To Denver” – Advertising
Second version, everything the same, but the sign says: “To Mom’s for Xmas” – Marketing

Haha! That’s funny.

Mark, I love that image too. Here is a quick picture I took of it. It’s from the great advertising book, “Hey Whipple, Squeeze This” by Luke Sullivan. The ad was created by Alex Bogusky for Crispin and Porter (Now conveniently Crispin Porter and Bogusky)
Sorry, the image is formatted right but imported sideways for some odd reason.

I almost remembered it right… that’s the one, though. 🙂 thanks for finding it!
