They enjoy big budgets, big bells and whistles, and deep pockets full of help. <br /><br />Low-end campaigns, that are barely a step up from local used car advertising, go to ethnic agencies and vendors. They lean on them to put in money themselves, skimp on creativity and development and quality, and treat the end product and the people that made them like cast offs. <br /><br />Ad Council perpetuates the Catch 22 in advertising where you can't get a quality gig unless you have high quality work, by making sure only an elite and mostly white circle ever gets the quality Ad Council campaigns. To add insult to injury, they happily pick up their ADCOLOR Awards for how diverse they are, and continue on their merry way year after year. <br /><br /><br /> Campaign Vetnoreply@blogger.com
