Chasing the Answer to an Identity Crisis

At some point in time, every agency has likely been faced with this question: What kind of agency are you?

Darryl Ohrt, founder of Plaid, takes a swing at answering that very question from a small agency’s point of view on the Ad Age Small Agency Diary.

From his piece:

When people ask about our agency, I often struggle with an industry categorization. I’d never use the term “traditional” to describe our operation, yet I don’t believe that “digital” is the best descriptor, either. For that matter, do traditional agencies even call themselves “traditional”? Probably not.

It’s a worthwhile read, and an interesting take on the question.  Take a few minutes to give it a look — I’m sure you’ll be able to relate to some, if not most of what he has to say.

Your Thoughts: The Idaho Lottery

Yes, the Idaho Lottery is always a subject that will get people talking.  It’s a high profile account and extremely visible work.

That being said, over the past month or so, what looks to be the first large-scale push for the Idaho Lottery from DaviesMoore has been making the rounds.  To date I’ve seen television spots, billboards and banner ads, and it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that radio is also running.

I’m going to reserve judgement on the work, because I’d like to know what you, dear readers, think of it.  Good? Bad? Indifferent?

The comment lines are open, but let’s keep things civil and professional.
