So Ken Wheaton in Adage concludes that scam ads hurts not only brands, but also agencies in this day and age. Yes, indeed!

Three Writers. One Office. No Effects. This is all I know as we're tweeted this link to a video of three writers having a blast in the office playing office hoops. They bounce the balls off each others heads, they bounce the balls off walls, they use all the geometry skills they have to bounce balls here there and everywhere, and into the hoops. It looks like they're having a grand ol' time at work. They set this to dubstep, which is hard to forgive because that ship sailed and we blew it up over Cthulhu's lair. And then.. There's the VO.

But if you're a business, or narcissistic enough to believe so, you can also pay for more impressions.

Great news from Mother New York who just won another prestigious client. I'll just quote the entire release;

"April 1, 2013- After nearly 237 years with their current agency, The Illuminati has named Mother New York its new agency of record. Creative duties for the account shifted after a pitch that included five undisclosed agencies.
To date, The Illuminati brand has followed a subtle advertising strategy that has included teasers on US currency, branded partnerships with world leaders and other non-traditional campaigns.
While some close followers have recognized the work, awareness has remained low according to The Illuminati, with less than 2% of the population acknowledging the organizationʼs efforts, despite the nearly $200 billion the group spends in annual media.
