10808: More Political Conservatives In Adland.

Advertising Age published a perspective from Strategic Media Consultant and Glass House Strategy Principal Vinny Minchillo, who helped create advertising for the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan presidential campaign. Add the recent Adweek interview with Jim Ferguson and it looks as if Carl Warner is dead wrong to believe there’s a dearth of political conservatives in the advertising industry. Minchillo boasted that he reinvented political advertising for the Romney-Ryan run. Funny, it came off like typical Republican bullshit. Regardless, as even Minchillo acknowledged, his candidate’s loss makes it all sorta moot. Although perhaps he proved that strong advertising will only make a lousy product fail faster.
