![It’s Not About the Plumbing
[On the introduction of TV advertising]
The boffins had taken over - they could
bamboozle clients with all the technical jargon
of this mind boggling new media. In the land
of the blind, the one-eyed producer proved to
be king. And these one-eyed men - and they
were all men - were the kings of advertising.
Until, that is, someone said ‘we need an idea.‘
And then the one eyed producers were found
to be somewhat wanting...

- 21. The Creative Mission... Create joy and value - not by shouts or bribes, but by getting inside people’s heads (and shoes) and giving them great value - by enabling them to give to and share with one another. This is the core dynamic of great Social comms - helping people be benefactors, storytellers, sages, entertainers and more... allowing them to create personal kudos. Think Social Capital. These are the ideas that matter. (Big ideas are not dead - we just need GOOD IDEAS, fit for social.) 21 @RogerWarner / @ContentMotion
