- Business
Two guys with a hella lotta emotional baggage wrought by working in media in the Caribbean. One an Art Director scarred by too many late nights, the other a well known radio personality who's slightly screwey. "It's a podcast about admen." "What's that?" "It's a digital audio file made available on the internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new instalments of which can be received by subscribers automatically. BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW!"

Public Relations #Advertising and Sausages. We're not kidding. We're just Mad.
What happens when a sausage company had to do damage control? We get to the meat of the issue of Public Relations and how it overlaps the business of Advertising and Marketing. We also touch on race in movies, such as Richard Pryor in the Toy and Dan Aykroyd in "blackface" in Trading Places. I put on my worst Jamaican accent and Jarrod waxes philosophically about the political situation in the country. We're not political, but it does impact on working in the industry. All this and working in Woodbrook in MadAvenue in this week's episode of But That's Not Important Right Now.

Nostalgia How it works in #Advertising and When to use it and when it becomes a #disaster.
In the essay "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" by Mary Schmich, immortalised in the the Baz Luhrmann song "Wear Sunscreen" She likens Advice as ". . . a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts And recycling it for more than it's worth." Well our advice to writers and admen and producers of content is, go easy on the Nostalgia-baiting! Using Nostalgia as a sales technique becomes old very quickly. Do you remember "Green Sands"? Sure, where is it now? All this and more, including 100 years of Crix and 100 years of Angostura Aromatic Bitters in this week's episode of But That's Not Important Right Now. A Podcast on Advertising!
