Hey Isiah Mustafa, Obama Girl Loves Adrants. Don’t You?

So when Obama Girl aka Amber Lee Ettinger was all the rage, she was kind enough to send us a personalized message telling us how much she loves Adrants and why everyone should read it if they’re interested in advertising.

We wrote about her and her work for Barely Political a lot. And we mean a lot. So we were very pleased to have that thank you message arrive.

Perhaps we haven’t yet written enough about Isiah Mustafa and his work for Old Spice to warrant one of his personalized videos now making the rounds. He’s done one for Kevin Rose over at Digg, friend with similar interests Susannah Breslin, Gizmodo, Ashton Kutcher, Peter Shankman and several others.

Hmm. Perhaps we haven’t tweeted enough. We don’t have as many followers as Ashton Kutcher’s 1.2 kabillion but we have kabillions of readers who love advertising and would love to see Isiah tell and ad industry it’s a lot cheaper to make a few hundred customized YouTube videos than it is to waste millions on campaigns that target no one and cost obscene amounts to enter for Cannes Lion consideration. There’s an African lion reference in there somewhere, Isiah.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
