George Parker has the inside dope on Draft/FCB’s excitement for the recent account win and work it did for the new Electronic Arts game, Def Jam Icon, yet another “Yo mutha fucka, you fuck with me, I beat the shit out of your sorry ass” cultural stereotype that makes one particular segment of people look like pea-brained idiots with nothing better to do than self-genocide themselves out of existence. In support of that stellar accomplishment and lauding the agency’s teamwork, Draft/FCB’s three top dudes, Howard, Jonathon and Lawrence, in an internal memo, blather platitudes such as “tearing down geographical silos, tapping into cross-office expertise and growing our business” and “working together seamlessly in our new agency model…as a result of a global creative rumble.” This is the genius it took win the account and promote a game who’s sole purpose is to let kids idolize bad ass mutha fuckas as some class of hero? Eesh. Be careful what you attach your internal memos to.
