]]> Comment on What I learned from watching the Big Game with non-ad people. by Ryan https://www.castiron.la/marketing/what-i-learn-from-watching-the-superbowl-with-non-ad-folks/#comment-30 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 21:56:09 +0000 https://www.castiron.la/?p=1450#comment-30 I go to the same friend’s house for “the Big Game” every year. And out of 20-30 people attending, there’s usually only one other ad guy in the house besides me. And guess what. Nobody watches the ads. Not even me. Because I can’t hear them over the annoying laughter and chatter of people having a great time. So you say our industry is “insular.” I’d add “ignorant.” when it comes to the real impact (or lack thereof) of this exorbitantly expensive way to message. On the other hand, I sure do like making a big, spendy spot.

That means so much. You were our captain, and in many ways you still are. You knew the way forward and guided us all on that journey. For that, I am forever grateful. You have brought RPA into the age of digital, and applied that thinking across all disciplines. Without a doubt, you have been the biggest change agent at RPA, and there is always so much to learn from you. Your advice is not dated, it’s smart, current and valuable. And RPA is lucky to have you steering it, and we are lucky to have learned from you, maybe in ways you will never know. Thanks for commenting Pete, and thank you for your support. You are what every agency wishes they had, and will continue to navigate the culture and practice of RPA to exciting new places.

“At 50, we don’t care about our books, we care about our client’s books. We don’t want to get rich, we want to make our clients rich. We’re less interested in heading to Cannes on the client’s dime, as we are about heading to get our daughters from school. For us, work and life do not live on opposite ends of a continuum. They live together.”

Welcome to the new age of marketing and agency life. You will be far more equipped to do good work, with good people, and not lose your soul without the yoke of an exec-heavy, aging model.

I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you.

I always remember our pioneering days in digital as the funnest and most energetic time in my oh so long career. The work was great but the discovery and invention around a whole new way of talking to customers and how we’d get paid for it was a constant buzz. Sounds like you are back in the exhilarating place of invention and discovery. Actual bootstrapping. I wish you guys nothing but the best and I’m always here if you need dated advice on the business.
