Anonymity Is Priceless February 5, 2008

Agency Spy asks why some advertising bloggers are anonymous, including me. Daily Biz pretty much sums it up (although I don’t have a handsome AE on which I have a crush), although I have a couple to add:

• I’d most definitely be fired. Immediately. You can’t really cut and paste internal emails on the internet and have your boss be okay with that.
• Some of my clients may not be cool with me calling them idiots. Some would, but they’re idiots.
• My co-workers would turn against me and make my life miserable. Not much change from the present though.
• And contrary to popular belief, I really like my company. If I were out of the closet, they probably wouldn’t really like me.
• I wouldn’t get to stay at The Viceroy every 3 weeks on the company dime. That’s reason enough.
• Could I wax poetic about interactive agencies without my opinions being associated with my shop? No. Do I wax poetic now? No. But I might.
