I hate the American Advertising Awards a little bit. Here’s why.
As a social occasion, they’re great. You get all of Buffalo’s ad people in a room with hors d’oeuvres and an open bar and you’ll probably have a good time.
As a professional showcase, they’re unmatched. You show all their best work on the big screen and you’ll probably end up motivated and inspired. Long story short, there was a lot of talent in that room.
Despite how proud I might be to be part of that community, though, it’s hard not to go there and feel a little small.
