Ad Age’ Crowns Consumer King a la ‘Time.’ Inadvertently Rebukes Self

Angela’s Take: AdAge just named The Consumer as Agency of the Year, hot off the tracks of Time which recently made You its Person of the Year.

What does this mean for you? We guess it means that you’re kind of a big deal. Despite the fact you’ve always had the power, right now you’re blowing up like a rock star. With the magic of spending power, ad-critical assertiveness and the frontiers for freedom getting blazed across the internet, publications everywhere are suddenly bowing down in humble supplication.

What does this mean for AdAge? We think they said it all when in the lower right-hand corner of their Consumer article they posted a link to a Scott Donaton piece that reads, “Me-too-itis Hobbles Too Many Marketers’ Efforts.”

Oopsy.
