A comment from a YAHOO PNLKer...thought I would share with you all....
"re: Andeveron on SItyrone_gayazt (47/M/CA) Jun 17 1998 3:04PM EDTI have been in the advertising business for 23 years and have a basic problem with Andeveron's credibility. He states <I am actually an artistic director for various media advertisements.>
I have never, in 23 years, heard anyone refer to themselves as an artistic director. Art Director, yes... Writer, yes... Creative Director, yes... Account Exec., yes... Account Supervisor, yes... and many more (ad folks love titles). ARTISTIC Director???... sorry but it just doesn't ring true.
He then states <I also organize various advertising campaigns for companies that publish in trade journals and popular media magazines.>
ORGANIZE? If "artistic director" is suppose to indicate that he works in the creative end of the biz, then ORGANIZE is a very strange term. Art directors and writers (the creatives) CREATE advertising, they don't ORGANIZE it.
These may seem like small things but remember "The Devil is in the details" and these are a couple of details that lead me to believe that this guy isn't exactly Kosher. All IMHO.
For the record, I'm in PNL for the long haul since just prior to the May 15 site launch. In at 2.50, 3.75 and 4. Been lurking on SI since then and more recently here. I'm perfectly willing to give the gang at PNL the time to work out the bugs and proceed with the marketing plan.
Good luck all, Dave " ÿ |
