Draft Blows Into FCB, Mediocrity to Prevail

boschetto_l.jpg

As only George Parker can, he says FCB New York Creative Director is fucked because the Draft/FCB merger puts Jonathan Harries in the position of worldwide chief creative officer for the company. Becker is fucked because, as George writes, “Having come across Mr. Harries in a previous life, I can assure you that he never met an ad he couldn’t kill. Particularly if it had a spark of creativity in it. To sum it up in a word… Mediocrity. Or, to put it another way… Chris Becker is fucked!” Anyone out there need a CD?
