An Insiders Look at the Downfall of Dallas Based Berry-Brown Advertising

Mack Simpson, a Texas Ad Monkey as he likes to call himself, used to work for a Dallas based ad agency called Berry-Brown. Berry-Brown, you might recall closed near the end of 2000 after it’s eccentric CFO killed himself and killed the agency by embezzling $6.5 million.

Mack was there when it all happened and tells us the inside story in three parts on his weblog. You can read it here. Another lesson in human nature that illustrates you never really know a person until it is, perhaps, too late.
