Anonymous Ad Guy... Back, And Not So Anonymous.

So, an ad guy friend emails me not so long ago and says, “Hey, is this you?” And there’s a link to this blog. It seems a posting I did on Bud Light popped up in a search he had done, and he thought he recognized the writing style. And, I think, the hairline. He forwarded it to a few other ad guy friends, and they all concurred. I was Anonymous Ad Guy.

So the dream was over. I was outed-- busted like a horny politician in an airport bathroom stall. So be it.

Then he asked, “Why aren’t you still posting?” Just like a zillion other bloggers, I had started out strong, but then fell off the radar.

The simple reason has been time. Since the New Year, I’ve been working my can off at the agency, taking care of current clients, hunting down new ones, and making sure we’re doing great work that moves the needle. This has been job #1 for me, and it’s a full-timer.

So rather than posting a bunch of half-baked fluff just for the sake of posting, I went silent.

But now that my anonymity has been blown, I’ve decided to come back. With a few changes.

While still a blog for small businesses and startups, I’m inviting some more people to the party. Clients, colleagues, ad guys, whoever. Keep an eye out for their thoughts and comments as well.

Because no matter who you are or what you’re trying to do, the questions are still the same. How do we build our businesses? How do we grow our brands? How do we set ourselves apart in the minds of consumers?

I’ll also be keeping an eye on, and commenting on, the good and bad of marketing today. Feel free to join in.

So anyway, hi. My name’s David. It’s good to be back. Now let’s get cracking.
