“Where are my manners? Would you care for some?”
That quote is from a Coffee-mate® commercial I wrote for Dixie Carter who starred in a TV show called “Designing Women.” If you can remember her, it might be time for a nap. Before you drift away take a look at some of the fun I’ve been having in my advertising career.
You’ll see I’ve created walking, talking phlegm, flashlights that dance, and pushy little puppets. I’ve sold toothbrushes, lottery tickets, health club memberships, college degrees, destination cities, medications for yeast infections (don’t ask) and a margarine that thinks it’s butter.
From shooting commercials all over the world to saying something meaningful in 125 characters, I’ve done it all. Including leading creative departments, collaborating on brand strategies, pitching new business, finding non-profit organizations that need marketing help and most importantly, being a mentor to young creative talent. And I’m still doing it.
So go ahead, have a little coffee with my copy. I’ll wait till you’re finished and then we can talk.
