Saatchi’s T Mobile Web-n-Walk Banner

I’m on a banner ad kick lately (possibly because we’re doing some expandables for a big client right now). Saatchi & Saatchi’s Denmark shop put together this nice one for T Mobile – not exactly product-knowledge stuff, but definitely eye-catching if you stick around the page long enough to see the whole ad.

On a side note, I sold $290k worth of jobs in the past 6 days. Not that much, but our New Business Director wants me to give him the SOWs so he can get commission on them. Is that fair? I’ve been 100% responsible for the clients, from initial sale on, so I’m a little protective, I guess, of who gets credit. I need to get over it – karma, etc.

Week’s Over

Woke up this morning and was so glad it was Saturday until I looked at my Blackberry. One call from our CEO (probably wondering if I got sign off on my 2 outstanding SOWs) and 87 emails. One email was from a potential side client of an existing client of mine. She wants me to put together yet another PowerPoint about why and when to to buy online media – and I’ve already sent her 3 others. It’s a potentially good buy (over 700k), but I’ve spent over 9 hours this week devising ways for her to sign off. Fortunately, I didn’t bring my laptop home this weekend, so I can’t work on it – I have a Mac at home without PowerPoint. So convenient.

How exciting is it that today, Saturday, is St. Patrick’s Day? Not that I need an excuse for barhopping on weekends. Have you noticed that there hasn’t been a ton of advertising for it this year? Seems to be declining – you’d think the beverage industry would get all gooey inside thinking of all the binge drinking they could inspire.
