Professional lodestar: "Properly practiced creativity can make one ad do the work of ten." --Bill Bernbach
Developing my craft and absorbing wisdom at small boutiques, large agencies and running my own business, I've learned a thing or two about what works and what doesn't.
Here's what works: Bringing creative people along and enlightening and inspiring them. Showing clients that you listen to them and care about their business. Pushing yourself to turn something good into something great.
Here's what doesn't: Settling for just okay. Kissing ass. Thinking you're always right.
