Sometimes my Reddit feed gets it right in back-to-back posts.

When I was at Normandy I was overwhelmed thinking about 19-year olds from Iowa or Oregon far from home storming the beaches to defeat fascism. Such incredible sacrifice on behalf of people they didn’t know. So Pete- don’t bring your white supremacy to Normandy. You don’t speak for most Americans.

Remember Joe Sedelmaier with this lineup of crazy commercials -- including a few for Alaska Airlines. youtu.be/cz4rzc93VVs?... #advertising #RIP

Hotel surveys are quickly learning the top priorities.

I think the biggest winners of the #Oscars are the makers of double-breasted suits.

I think some of the Oscars commercials are way better than the Super Bowl commercials. Perhaps marketers are willing to do some more inventive work since they’re under less scrutiny but it’s still a big audience.

Kinda funny how this @campaignus.bsky.social @campaignuk.bsky.social headline uses one brand as a verb when talking about another brand’s business. #advertising

Yes the rupture remains. Donald Trump is not going to defend a NATO ally under attack, hence the core of the alliance-Article 5-is not operable for the US while he’s president. Also Rubio’s tone was friendly if you’re a white Christian nationalist.

Uhhh...lots of us do, @adweek.bsky.social. You chose only a few. What a snotty headline.

So much 90s nostalgia in these commercials. #superbowl

As you watch the Super Bowl commercials and opine on them, remember: Your Top 5 favorites are someone else's Bottom 5.™ #advertising #marketing #SuperBowl #SBads

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

Lots of #SuperBowl commercials are being pre-released in :60 and :90 lengths in the hopes people will see and like them before the game. Most of them will air in chopped up :30s that come and go in a blip, and are easily forgotten. Marketers get the Big Game wrong. #advertising #marketing

Once again, the ads in the Super Bowl are shaping up to be an overload of soon-to-be forgotten gratuitous celebrity appearances. adage.com/super-bowl/a... #advertising #superbowl

For all their innovation in other areas, Amazon has never done physical retail very well. Living in Seattle, I've seen so many of their stores come and go. www.geekwire.com/2026/amazon-...

Haven't seen this job listing before. At least they're not asking for someone with "5-10 years' experience" doing this kind of work. #advertising

GO SEAHAWKS. I am not in Seattle tonight but my dogs just texted to complain about the fireworks.

For all the money they’re spending on these Payton Manning commercials, does anyone really care that Nationwide wants to be known as a “financial services company”? #advertising

Had 4 offers to judge local ADDY shows this year. I'm wondering if AAFs are having a hard time finding judges because it's now entirely sitting in front of a computer judging 100s of case studies. It used to be way more enjoyable going to cities and judging in-person.

35 years ago, we hoped Russia would become more like us. Trump wants US to become more like Russia. At home and abroad.

And Ukraine wasn’t on a path to getting into NATO, as @bdtaylor-su.bsky.social and I argue in our new piece “NATO did not cause Putin’s imperial war” www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Cameo is cool and all, but I'm not sure Chris Hansen is the one you want "here with you."

We are delighted to share that SIS PhD program director and former SIS dean Jim Goldgeier (@jimgoldgeier.bsky.social) has been elected President of the International Studies Association (@isanet.bsky.social) for 2027–2028! Congratulations, Jim, on this distinguished leadership role!

"...the team spent seven weeks of sleepless nights writing prompts. “This wasn’t an AI trick. It was a film,” she said." Welcome to the future of advertising. adage.com/brand-market...

At the end of the Cold War, we hoped Russia would become more like the United States- democratic, with a market economy and respect for rule of law. The new NSS makes clear that Trump’s goal is to make the US more like Russia, supporting Putin’s transactionalism and spheres of influence approach.

A lot of this sounds simply insane. I worked for Omnicom a long time ago and the benefits weren't as bad as described here. www.adweek.com/agencies/exc... #advertising #marketing #omnicom

"The producer gave the client the wrong file." Perhaps the most authentic thing about the ad industry related to "Mad Men."

They waited until the Monday after Thanksgiving to release this turkey... adweek.it/4a7is4H #advertising

Alaska Airlines at the golden hour at JFK.

Mergers like this only benefit the accountants, lawyers and other execs who pushed it. Clients, employees and vendors will get screwed. Bet on it. #advertising www.businessinsider.com/omnicom-ipg-...

Maybe for one year, we could have a moratorium on commercials featuring songs with rewritten lyrics to holiday & Christmas songs. One can dream... #advertising

Can we pay for these with Enron stock certificates???

Very few Super Bowl commercials air much after the big game. But the Lay's one with the girl growing her own potato to add to the pile has aired incessantly since. Go figure. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmzk... #advertising

This is fun.

This would come as no surprise. #advertising #marketing

More people are loyal to Apple products than GM vehicles. If a vehicle doesn't have CarPlay capability, I won't even rent it. www.macworld.com/article/2953...

Interesting list here, but there's only one ad here created before 1980 so clearly a recency bias. I suspect you can substitute "caused a ruckus on social media" for "controversial." www.thedrum.com/news/the-25-... #advertising #marketing

Just saw an email from someone who calls himself the "Chief Burnout Officer" at his company and yeah, we had a few of those in my college fraternity.

If this weekend’s games are any indication, this year’s Super Bowl will be filled with commercials for AI-related services. #advertising

It's been two years since the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. 48 hostages still remain in Hamas custody. Hamas must release them now.

Interesting timing. This will be quite a...headache for the agencies pitching this. #advertising #Marketing adage.com/agencies/acc...

"Television commercials might soon look a lot like the ads in your Instagram and TikTok feeds: scrappy, niche and often obscure." www.wsj.com/articles/tv-...

From the line of questioning here, it appears Ad Age wanted the backlash to tank this campaign and AE’s sales. They don’t ask these types of questions to other CMOs.

The last thing J. Crew oughta be doing is replacing humans with AI imagery to sell quality clothes. The whole thing feels cheap. adage.com/brand-market...

Was brushing really all that complicated before?
