Way late. I just got another e-mail from Luke Sullivan asking when this foreword to Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This would be done. I was also late reading his earlier e-mail about being late because there were about 200 other e-mails in front of that one, most of them about something I owed somebody and they were asking why it was late. The thing is, I’m not one of those “late people.” Really. I love work and I hate being late and I pretty much never miss a deadline. I think being late is poor form, so I’m feeling a little like a dolt right now. It’s just that I’ve been so damn busy. So busy I wasn’t even able to fit a martini into my lunch break. Damn. Actually, I haven’t had a martini lunch in my entire career. I eat lunch at my desk. Those three-martini lunches are long gone, and they’ve been replaced with a business that’s more competitive and fast-paced than even the movie industry. These days, there’s simply a lot more to do. The single television spot or print ad has been replaced by the integrated campaign—a single big idea that works across every media. An idea that can xii Foreword by Alex Bogusky draw the consumer out and compel him or her to spend some time with the brand, and maybe even some money. It’s a lot of work and it ain’t for the faint of heart. But as my Dad used to say, “It’s better than diggin’ ditches.” In the end, it’s rarely the deadlines or the amount of work that keep us from getting the job done. Hell, it’s never even the lack of a big idea.You see, new media, untraditional media, integration,—they may be the buzzwords we read every day in the hype that surrounds our business. But so far as I know, they’ve yet to come up with a powerful form of communication that does not at least begin life as words. Failure in advertising most often comes from the lack of this basic skill in finding the right words. The ability to find the words to write down an idea or to present an idea in the most compelling way possible. That’s the wisdom that’s in this book—in words. It’s Bogusky has read it at ם why everybody here at Crispin Porter least once. And it’s why some of the really brilliant and successful people I’ve met in this business have read it two, even three times. Which reminds me, I’m going to read it again. When I get the time. PREFACE THIS IS MY FANTASY. We open on a tidy suburban kitchen.Actually, it’s a room off the side, one with a washer and dryer. On the floor is a basket full of laundry. The camera closes in. Out of the laundry pops the cutest little stuffed bear you’ve ever seen. He’s pink and fluffy, has a happy little face, and there’s one sock stuck adorably to his left ear. “Hi, I’m Snuggles, the fabric-softening bear. And I . .” The first bullet rips into Snuggles’s stomach, blows out of his back in a blizzard of cotton entrails, and punches a fist-sized hole in the dryer behind. Snuggles grabs the side of the Rubbermaid laundry basket and sinks down, his plastic eyes rolling as he looks for the source of the gunfire. 1 Taking cover behind ⁄16th-inch of flexible acrylic rubber, Snuggles looks out of the basket’s plastic mesh and into the living room. He sees nothing. The dining room. Nothing. xiv Preface Snuggles is easing over the backside of the basket when the second shot takes his head off at the neck. His body lands on top of the laun- dry, which is remarkably soft and fluffy. Fade to black. We open on a woman in a bathroom, clad in apron and wielding brush, poised to clean her toilet bowl. She opens the lid. But wait. What’s this? It’s a little man in a boat, floating above the sparkling waters of Lake Porcelain. Everything looks clean already! With a tip of his teeny hat, he introduces himself.“I’m the Ty-D-Bowl Man, and I . .” Both hat and hand disappear in a red mist as the first bullet screams through and blows a hole in curved toilet wall behind the Ty-D-Bowl Man. Water begins to pour out on the floor as the woman screams and dives for cover in the tub. Ty-D-Bowl Man scrambles out of the bowl, but when he climbs onto the big silver lever, it gives way, dropping him back into the swirling waters of the flushing toilet.

  • Serving America
    Proven leadership, a strong work ethic, discipline, teamwork—traits often used to describe those in our nation’s military. They are the same traits also associated with those who earn an M.B.A. The Simon Graduate School of Business has recognized this in its long tradition of accepting students with military backgrounds. As far back as the early 1970’s, instructors in the University of Rochester’s Naval R.O.T.C. program have taught naval science courses and attended Simon on Fridays through the Executive M.B.A. Program. During that time, Simon also offered an M.S. program in Systems Analysis, overseen by Ronald W. Hansen, senior associate dean for faculty and research, that enrolled and graduated approximately 75 mid-career military officers. Over the years, many Simon international students have performed military service in their home countries as well. Over the past two years, under Dean Mark Zupan’s leadership, the School has accelerated efforts to actively recruit M.B.A. candidates with military experience—either on orders from the military while on active duty or following several years of military service. “Since its inception, the Simon School has sought to attract the best and brightest candidates to attend its programs,” says Zupan. “Aside from today’s political climate, we continue to believe that the skills and traits inherent in current or former members of the military mirror those necessary for earning a graduate business degree and being successful.” Zupan ap- pointed Daniel H. Struble, retired Navy captain and former head of the University’s N.R.O.T.C.

  • Substance Abuseabuse
    SubstanceSubstance AbuseAbuse ForFor FosterFoster Parents,Parents, CaregiversCaregivers && TeachersTeachers TeenTeen TrendsTrends-- WhatWhat toto KnowKnow 1: THEY’RE STRESSED. Today’s teens are stressed out. Factors include school work (they have more than ever. The Internet speeds things up but that just means that they're given even more work), college pressures, advanced placement courses in high school, and being overscheduled. The (stereotypical) Gen X slackers they are not. 2: THEY’RE HYPER-SEXUALIZED. Things like mini-skirts in schools, guys taking Creatine to get bulked up for sports, Real World MTV hook ups with young adults sleeping with strangers in each episode, online dating sites and Internet porn... This stuff is in their face every day. Teens are trying to act older, while older people are trying to act younger. So you've got kids trying to be adults, and adults (like Baby Boomers in particular) trying to be kids. It makes for a weird dynamic – and can confuse the teen as to who's the role model? Surprisingly, kids are more mature about things than you'd expect. 3: FRIENDS ARE THE NEW FAMILY. You say, “a person's friends have been important to every generation." But this cohort seems to equally value their circle of friends as their secondary family. They are far more group oriented than Gen Xers. Even if you think about Sesame Street, the show Xers grew up with ("We're all unique and different") compared to Barney, the show Gen Y grew up with ("Everybody is equal -- We're all the same.") Gen Y tends to be more conformist than Xers and Boomers were in their youth.
