What An Ad Agency Website Would Say If The Truth Got Out

You’ve visited agency websites before. They’re usually well designed and pretty and have lots of fancy sounding words to describe what they do. Here’s an agency that just tells it like it is:

We do stuff.: “huh? is an enclave of new-age e-movers. We use catchy names for our job titles, like Vision Guidance Leader instead of Project Manager. Cool names make us sound smarter and more clever.

Our CEO is rarely in his office, and all female team members are expected to sleep with him, or at least pretend like they want to. Our designers ride Razor scooters around the office instead of walking, while wearing mail-bag style backpacks to hold their iPods.

We have lots of shiny espresso machines, and all of our new-age e-movers (that’s our cool way to say ’employees,’ remember?) drive to work in VW Beetles. Appearance is everything to us, because we’ll get more of your money by looking cool than we will by doing quality work.

If you call our office, the phone will be answered by a very disinterested intern, giving you the impression that we’re too important to talk to you. Because we are.

Refreshing, huh?

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.
