Jim Edwards at BNET brilliantly pointed out a pile of bullshit, brought to you by Madison Avenue. Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kevin Roberts pontificated on talent recruitment in the modern era and actually proclaimed, “The days of fat and surplus will disappear. Entitlement will disappear … working together will be what makes the difference, not personal gain.”
Edwards then noted that Roberts’ son is the Talent Director for Saatchi & Saatchi Europe and the Middle East.
Add Kevin Roberts to the list of people Cyrus Mehri can call to the stand for the impending discrimination lawsuit against the advertising industry.
Plus, Roberts can join Howard Draft and Dan Wieden to form The Three Stooges of Cultural Cluelessness.
this is like Donny Deutsch talking about "working your way up..."
ReplyDeleteyou gotta love the ad biz.
It bothers the heck out of me that the people complaining about the system being broken are the same people in power and making profit off of those who suffer and cant get a job just because of their skin color, and lack of connections. The system benefits only people like the stooges.They all are hypocrites. Dan complains about diversity but yet W+K isnt diverse. Kevin complains about entitlement and he hooks up cronies and his son. And howard draft talks about being a diverse agency and a great agency when his agencies keep churning out racist ads, and bad work did i mention he is involved in tons of scadals and his agency actually sucks. This industry sucks.
