  1. Never sell the audience. Engage them in a topic that means something to them, then give the brand all the credit.
  2. We look for what has meaning to the audience, not the client. Smart believes the Audience doesn’t care about the client.
  3. People hate to be thought of as customers or consumers. Smart believes they are what they are: the Audience.
  4. Smart is not hard to work for. But it is hard to be.
  5. NeoAdvertising is any means of engaging the interest of the audience. Smart never refers to them as “customers."
  6. Smart is the very first NeoAdvertising agency. What Smart does has never been done before. Welcome to the bleeding edge.
  7. Smart work day: 18 hrs/5 time zones. Smart windows: painted black. Smart employees: brilliant vampires. Outcome: TBD
  8. Smart takes its work to extremes. Smart only handles one client at a time. Our current client is the taxpayer/shareholders of GM. Extremes.
  9. Smart doesn’t work for clients. Smart works for the audience. Clients retain Smart to understand and engage the interest of their audience.
  10. RT @madisonavenew: Ever feel like you jumped in quicksand and someone threw you a bowling ball? That would be me. http://madisonavenew.com
  11. People relate to 4 things: their family, growth, security and fun. Unusual ads for the sake of unusal are meaningless to them.
  12. Advertising has become a fashion show for the blind.
  13. For the cost of craft services on a Pytka shoot Patron made themselves famous around the world.
  14. If your agency recommends a celebrity to endorse your product, make sure your audience agrees they are a celebrity.
  15. Nobody spends two million dollars producing a commercial so it will sell. They do it so they can go to Cannes.
  16. Andy Mitchell, VP Digital Mktg, CNN: "People don't say great things online. Just hang your brand out there." Which justifies his job how?
  17. Comcast's Frank Eliason hired 7 people to keep up w Twitter and 10K blogs. How about hiring someone to answer the phone in tech support?
  18. John Harrobin, SVP Mktg Verizon said, "Engagement is in our zone." Which is why they have me on hold. To talk to a machine.
  19. We worked for the L.A. City Attorney to end the war between the Crips and Bloods. Our CFO refused to be paid in crack.
  20. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. Battaglia Rodeo Drive paid us $10K a month. I spent $20K on their Brioni suits.
