Ad Women of Excellence Honored, Stupid But Fun Awards Needed

jeansguy.jpg

Well, it seems everyone’s got some kind of award for something in this industry. It must be all that childhood self esteem training run amok and rearing its ugly head in adulthood. Anyway, Boards magazine is honoring woman “who have made significant creative and business contributions to the international advertising and commercial production communities.” They will be highlighted in the magazine’s September issue as well as at a celebration in New York.

Hmm. With all this intelligence on display, maybe Adrants should launch something a bit less intense such as, oh, the Hottest Men of Advertising or Advertising Agencies’ Most Beautiful Women or a Cannes Six Pack And Racks Contest. Oh but wait, that would make the outside world think we’re even bigger buffoons than those hipsterific folks over at Agency.com. It sure would be fun though. Anyone interested?
