Jim Edwards rips Ogilvy’s Seifert a new one
September 23, 2009
Ogilivy Advertising Agency executive Seifert has been lambasted by Jim Edwards on CBS/B|NET .. and lambasted is putting it lightly.
From the Article:
“Bill has so much to be proud of in his Ogilvy career, and we have much to thank him for. I would not have the leadership opportunity in front of me today without Bill’s wise counsel and unconditional support. Bill is as ‘Ogilvy Red’ as they come … and always will be.”
Then this is the kicker:
“What Seifert is pointedly not referring to are the parts of Gray’s career that he is less proud of, particularly his role in the White House anti-drug campaign scandal, in which six — six! — of his top managers were convicted of trying to defraud the government. Seifert’s wife, Shona, did 18 months in prison in that caper, which prosecutors said started because Gray was angry that the agency wasn’t making enough money on the account.”
ROFL!!! He’s bragging about putting his wife and half a dozen of staff in Jail? Someone please enlighten me on exactly what’s so great to brag about with this?
This must be the only industry where you can commit fraud to the highest level, and then make a great name for yourself. We’re along the lines of used car salespeople and bankers in terms of public happiness with our current level of ethics. Total BS to see this happen in front of our eyes… and we’re happy that Jim called him out on this, because honestly this is the type of trash that needs to be exposed.
