Nike wannabes.
12:03, what's a nike ad?
really.
and how would you differentiate adidas if you were woking on it???
me thinks you should spend some time making sure your client wins the award next year...
just do it because impossible is nothing. At the end of the day the guys that do adidas used to do Nike. Who gives a shit who is who and what is what. They look like they are having fun. and get paid shitloads of cash to do it. So why not?
actually the really good agencies don't pay that well. them money comes when you leave and go to a big dog.
and it ain't always much fun trying to do great work. if it was fun and easy then everyone would be doing it.
that said, they can be proud that their work is among the best in the world.
good stuff gentleman.
