All Hell Breaks out at Media Bistro

May 1, 2009

Did hell’s gates open tonight. Matt @ Media Bistro allowed a ghost writer in to publish an article , that raised all sorts of hell 63 comments and rising as of 11:15pm on Friday night… The vast majority of them nasty. It really paints the industry in a new light…

In essence what was posted was a “fluff piece” singling out three agencies The Barbarian Group , Firstborn, and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners for their digital skillset.

The article itself wasn’t what blew our mind however, we see these “advertorials” everyday coming from Adage and Adweek. What blew our mind were the comments. We took a few of the best ones for you see.

Kids, kids - we’re not really making our industry look very good here. How about we keep the histrionics and name calling where they belong - in the Firstborn offices, 14 hours per day.

all the way down to the mean and nasty.

Dude, you’re a fucking tool.

and even better:

It’s obvious this “reporter” doesn’t know shit about agency interactive. They do however seem to read a lot of industry pubs to cobble this “overview” together.

What these ad agency guys don’t realize is that clearly it showed them at face value.. a bunch of stuck up ego loving snobs…

So what your agency was listed in the stupid article? Does it matter that much to you? Or does it imply that by you not being mentioned it pushes you even further down the irrelevancy ladder?

You guys sound like William Shatner when he found out he wasn’t allowed to play in the new Star Trek Movie.

Either big money is made by fluff pieces.. or your egos are so big that a hot air balloon would be too small to use as a hat….

If I were to bet, it would be the latter.

    So you think the author was correct and those agencies are the best?

    No way mcluhead … not by a long shot…. but the level of bitching there far exceeds what would be considering objective criticism.
