If you’ve been in the advertising business for any length of time then you are certainly familiar with Leo Burnett’s “When to Take My Name Off the Door” speech he gave in 1967, four years before he died at the age of 79. The speech, as the title implies, is about the certain circumstances under which Mr. Burnett would require his name be taken off the door.

Animation company Lobo had their way with the speech creating an animation to go along with Mr. Burnett’s words. We like the finished product.

Psychology says the boomer men now entering their late 60s and 70s are carrying a specific kind of unhappiness that has almost no cultural language — they were raised to provide, protect and endure, and most of them did all three brilliantly, and the cruelest reward for a lifetime of quiet service is discovering that the role was the entire identity and without it there’s a man underneath who was never introduced to anyone including himself

Psychology says people over 60 who still play CDs aren’t resisting technology — they’re protecting a ritual that required intention and commitment and the act of holding an album and choosing it is a ceremony that streaming destroyed by making every song equally weightless and their refusal to let go is a refusal to let music become background noise in a life where too much is already disappearing

I’m 37 and I’ve noticed that whenever there’s a crisis everyone turns to me like I have answers – and the hardest part isn’t solving the problem, it’s that nobody ever asks if I’m okay because they need me to be the steady one and I’ve forgotten how to be anything else

I’m 73 and I keep the television on from six in the morning until I fall asleep — not because I’m watching it, but because the sound of other people talking fills the exact shape of the silence my family left when they stopped needing this house, and some mornings a commercial says “good morning” before anyone real does
