GREAT TEAM- YOU WOULD BE LUCKY TO BE THEM
The blogger whose mouth runneyth over points out that the Chapman Ad Club is cool. I tend to agree.
Who are those sexies? (from left to right)
Job hall, a mystic, of sorts.
Rob Harrington, Merlin, president.
Stephy Pool, her mind is a combination of magma and puppies, sometimes the magma catches a puppy napping and you can't help but watch. (I wish I thought of that.)
Zack Marker, a storm cloud follows him, also he is a gangster rapper.
Fiona Beitdashtoo, came up with a wild story involving 15 shots of something and a chicken in a place.
Amanda Medeiros, Media head, all around cute
Evan, me, VP, I can't say things about myself - can I?
Lilia, Self proclaimed potted plant, though I think the opposite
Think you're missing? You're missing out, the Chapman Ad Club is all about running off to exotic Newport Beach locations to hang out with local advertising big shots. So join.

HOW TO GET AN 'A' IN CORY'S ENTERTAINMENT MARKETING CLASS. VOL. 4
HAVE SEX.
Those crazy Brits (no doubt related to Anthony or friends of Stephy) have done a study over "a fortnight" and revealed that those who have "penetrative intercourse…were found to be the least stressed, and their blood pressure returned to normal faster than those who had engaged in other forms of sexual activity such as masturbation."
They tested stress levels by having the subjects give presentations.
But Dr Peter Bull, a social and political psychologist at the University of York, said there were other ways to prepare for a speech that were more likely to reduce stress.
He said: "You are probably better off thinking about what you are going to say, and preparing thoroughly.
I am going to leave any insinuations to this years NSAC presentation team.

THE EVOLUTION OF BELOW THE LINE
It was all about Bumvertising only months ago. Now, courtesy of Influx Insights, (run by sexy Nor Cal Agency Butler Shine Stern & Partners, who didn't return my calls) I am pleased to share with you "Streetmusicvertising" - I made that word up-.
quoath Influx:
"The concept first dreamed up by British band Travis, is now being deployed to market the UK release of the soundtrack and movie, Walk the Line, the Johnny Cash biopic.
Sony is paying its street musicians around $80/day to sing the Cash tunes. "
I really think this is cool... and in this case it is so below the line that you could be walking down the street, hear " A Boy Named Sue" and think, "I'm kinda in the mood to see the Johnny Cash movie."
MARKERS TO CONSUMERS: BUY OUR PRODUCT OR BURN IN HELL
Via Ad Rants
The "buy our shit or you will die" approach isn't usually found on billboards unless you are Zambia-based roofer Harvey Tile. On the board, Harvey Tiles proclaims, "A roof without Harvey Tiles is like being Burnt in Hell without a savior."
- Remind you of anybody?

From Scott Hampton: unNotified Bodies - Stubborn Resistance to Change.
Sometimes I use this as an example when I'm at client sites. I tell them the moral of the story, too: "If you can't change the little things in your methods, you'll never change the big things. Pick something, make it better. Don't worry if it is just a little thing. If you lather, rinse, and repeat that a few times, you will have made a big difference. BUT if you wait for everyone else to change BEFORE you will, remember that everyone else is thinking the same thing, and so nobody will change anything. Don't wait for permission, or worry about doing something different, or invent reasons why you don't have authority. Somebody has to make the first move. It might as well be you. Change your world, today."
If you aren't doing anything different, how can you expect to accomplish anything different?

THE CONCERNED WOMEN OF AMERICA ARE CONCERNED ABOUT LITTLE GILS GENDER
The CWA is pissed. This conservative Christian movement raised flags against Mattel for giving kids too many options in an online Barbie poll.
"The age choices are 4-8, but as Bob Knight, Director of CWA’s Culture & Family Institute, notes children are given three options for their choice of gender."
Mattel has also recently been boycotted by CWA for its partnership with American Girl Dolls who supports Girls Inc a group that "is a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold." (as per their website). CWA was mad that Girls Inc supports sex ed and is pro choice.
Ad Club Alumni, Former Research/ Culture Department Head, NSAC Presenter and Red Shoed Hottie, Christina Edwards is reppin' at Y&R, Irvine as we speak. Mattel is their client. As Cory says, OC is the center of the universe.
(Note: Ad Club president Kate Lennon, and Jenna Nicoletti have and continue to intern at Y&R, respectively.)
