If you don’t know what you’re doing, how are you going to know if the thing that’s doing it for you is doing it well? Even the fanciest tool can only cloak incompetence for so long.
Today we discuss the importance and power of copy without once uttering the words “slacks” or “moist.” Based on the tweet: While “it” and “something” can both be anything, “just do it” is everything “just do something” is not. See, copy does matter.
People who don’t know what they’re doing insisting people who do know what they’re doing actually don’t know what they’re doing hasn’t done the industry any favors.
Backing into the strategy used to be standard operating procedure. So if the work gets there before the brief does, consider it a gift from the past, not an affront to the process.

Welcome to the @leeclowsbeard community on Locals. After 11+ years on Twitter and amassing over 42,000 followers (at least 73% bot-free), I decided to start this community as a respite from the algorithms and a sanctuary for discussing creativity in a generally civilized manner. Please, no shivving.
Currently, all content on here is available to everyone. At some point, most of The Daily Beard and How This Ad Works videos will be for members only. Membership fees will consist of whatever you wish to pay (the minimum is, I believe, $2/mo). Sadly, I do not currently have an LCB Members Only jacket to offer you. Feel free to make and bedazzle your own.
Please keep discussions civil and focused on advertising. If you want to complain about specific people or agencies, I hear Fishbowl is fantastic.
