Marketing is chock full of left wing creative types with the highly open lower consciousness and lower disgust threshold personality types. They exist in a bobble of cancelling of any real contact with moderate and conservative types in the real world and of affirm of leftism from like minded peers. They really do believe what they are saying and doing is virtuous and popular and don't care if "a handful" of "extremist conservatives" find it distasteful. It's all about virtue signaling to those groups that will reflexively affirm and support the proper left wing ideological positions.
My wife worked for GSD&M when we were dating and the agency was hired by A&M for a campaign. I met the creatives that were sent to CS before and after the visit and could not believe their takeaway of Aggie culture. I don't think they ever understood.
I have no problem believing they struggled understanding us, they're t-sips!!!
Quote:
The iconic advertising agency GSD&M was founded and originally run by University of Texas at Austin graduates. [1]
The agency was born right out of the campus experience in 1970 when a group of friends teamed up to create a multimedia film for the UT Dean of Students. After graduating in 1971, six of these UT alumni decided to turn their creative spark into an agency: [1, 2, 3]
- Roy Spence
- Judy Trabulsi
- Tim McClure
- Steve Gurasich
- Bill Gurasich
- Jim Darilek [1]
The famous acronym GSD&M represents the last names of four of these original co-founders (Gurasich, Spence, Darilek, and McClure). Operating out of Austin, they built the firm into a nationally renowned agency that has represented legendary brands like Southwest Airlines, Popeyes, and the U.S. Air Force. [1, 2, 3, 4]
It doesn't surprise me that A&M hired them, our administration often does stupid things.
This is the firm that was paid $1 million to spend a year 'researching' the campus experience at t-sip, and then came up with the marketing slogan "we're texas". Months later, someone at t-sip realized they'd been ripped off, because they literally just recycled an old Southwest Airlines marketing slogan "We're Southwest".
