Success and Failure

Not everyone is going to be interviewing at Goodby, Wieden, Fallon or Crispin.


If you are, don't consider that a success. Blasphemous as it sounds, those agencies have turned out some bad work, too. (And they usually put the juniors on those assignments.)


If you're not, don't consider that a failure. There are a lot of unsung, unheralded and undiscovered  agencies who are just waiting for fresh talent to take them to the next level.

    This the problem with name-fetish of shops. You can end up at all those shops listed and not produce anything good in 3 years.

    Don't follow the shop, follow the CD's. Seriously. Best career advice ever.
