Your biggest hit might be today...
I live near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Home of the Brewers (who are 2 games up on the Cubs, btw) and the biggest thing going at the ballpark for the past 30 years hasn't always been the team, but the RACING SAUSAGES. Everyone knows about them... and Klement Sausages is the brand behind it. And the guy behind that is a graphic designer (who I am working on to interview for us) is Michael Dillon. Who knew something so silly would become your signature marketing achievement? Today could be your day! 😆 ⚾ 🌭

Between Brooks Stevens creating the Wienermobile in 1957 I think, and Michael, who is more of a genius. It's a Dog Eat Dog world man!🤣🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭

Cracking Up Cracker Barrel Crack-Up?
Just days later, from the disastrous re-brand, Cracker Barrel has decided to call for a mulligan and crawl back to Uncle Herschel. Is this what you would have done?

I say ride the billion dollar PR stunt. Go for a redo, but at least have a little-country-bumpkin-vibe please for everyone south of the mason dixon line(wherever that is). Go read some of the comments from the lovers and the haters. Now take the billion you saved in PR and marketing and redo your menu, training, "store" design, posture and everything. And it's like a win-win if you're very lucky and if they believe from the top down. I was at a Cracker Barrel a few months ago in Wisconsin and as we met someone from the South visiting, I thought when was the last time I was in one of these? When did this one come to the Milwaukee/Menomonee Falls area? Was I ever here before? I know why now, but it has potential. Let's see what the powersthatbe come up with!

Boring advertising that actually isn't so boring...
Just stumbled across this ad-post in LinkedIn from PNC Bank. In line with the previous TAA Skool Post on Risky Creative... this is a much milder approach, but I believe clever in it's simplicity to be effective at stopping traffic and getting positive brand recognition.... despite Meagan's eye roll on being a "gold digging" throw-back.

Meagan is certainly part of the hater club. I get it. Mr. Mike, has there ever been an ad with all thumbs up? Doubtful. Probably No. Maybe: THE 1984 Ad?

Heinz Ketchup ad in the age of Instagram
It was actually 6 years ago that the agency DAVID introduced this clever storytelling spot for social distribution in step with "National Ketchup Day" back in 2019. In my day, it was the song "Anticipation" that held your attention as to when the Heinz Ketchup would come out of the bottle. Today, using a genuine celeb who has your logo tattooed to his arm seems like a perfect fit. Everyone's a critic... what's your take on this, Ed Sheeran fan or not?

"Hey Mikey" I likey! (see what happened there!) Ed's a great spokesperson and is a real, believable bloke.

Give me a prompt for mock ad
Things are a little slow, and I'd like to keep the rust off my creative gears. Any product, any parameters, and twists. Let's hear it 👇

@Mike Farley the AD Young Brian speaks of is on drums in that YouTube performance on the "Snake Sessions" by WSUM 91.7FM. Yup, number one (and only) son. 🥁❤️
