More fonk for creatives at Blogfonk

If you liked the fonk for thoughts interviews you should stop by again as there are fresh ones. Today Brad Forsythe of the advertising show is in the hotseat:

BlogFonk: Do you love your work?
Forsythe: If I didn't love it, I wouldn't do it.

BlogFonk: Why?
Forsythe: Because there are no rules, no proven formula to marketing and advertising. In fact, those who think they know the rules understand later in their career, that only by breaking the rules you do stand to realize the greatest success from any marketing effort.

BlogFonk: What is 'The Advertising Show' all about?
Forsythe: The show is primarily about entertainment. It's about providing a channel for advertising, marketing, branding, and media professionals who have an interest in learning what's on the cutting edge within their respected industries. Our show strives each week to strike a balance between being informative and being entertaining.

I often tell our guests before going on the air we have three goals we shoot for during each interview segment. Number one is to have fun. Number two is to be informative and number three is to have fun. Hopefully for those that listen to our show this comes through.

BlogFonk: Is there difference in mentality of creatives in the countries you've worked?
Forsythe: Not really. There are great creative minds around the world and there is a lot of creative that really sucks. Typically the more conservative your client's corporate culture, the greater tendency for safe marketing. The more forward thinking clients get innovative marketing ideas from their ad agencies. In my opinion, no matter what part of the world you're seeing marketing and advertising executed, clients tend to get the quality of advertising they deserve.
