I’ve known a lot of creative directors in my time. And the one thing we all have in common, is that at one time in our career, we were certain that our value was tied to our ability to sift through a mound of ideas, identify the ones with potential and help turn them into [...]]]></description>

‘Tis the season and ‘tis the profession to look forward. To let old acquaintances be forgot along with technology that’s more than 15 minutes old and ideas that got 3 million hits on YouTube last month. Let’s face it, this time of year fits well with the mindset of our industry. One that’s driven by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is the latest Crandall family holiday card installment in a tradition that started 19 years ago.

And here is the backup. By the way, those are Depends™ we&#8217;re rocking even though they look like my grandmother&#8217;s panties. Not that I&#8217;ve, you know, seen my grandmother&#8217;s panties.

Which card do you prefer?

I was going through some old work this week for one of our new pitches and I came across a spot I hadn&#8217;t watched in a while. It was for the California Department of Health Services anti-tobacco initiative. And it was inauspiciously named, &#8220;Bubbles 2.&#8221;
Of all the spots I&#8217;ve been part of, this is maybe [...]]]></description>

On March 9, Agency Spy ran a piece announcing that I was undertaking a charity/documentary project called, “Free Throw.”  The comment in the thread below the article which had the most “likes,” (11) started with the words, “How utterly horrendous.” Four months later, on Monday, July 11, I appeared on CNN with one of the [...]]]></description>

We raised $75,000 in scholarship money and just as importantly, gave a group of kids, teachers and parents the chance to show there’s a lot more to people from Compton than you’ll ever learn in a rap song.

Creatively, I’ve been lucky. In addition to my near misses, crushing disappointments and abject failures &#8212; of which there have been many &#8212; I’ve been fortunate enough to see two screenplays I wrote turn into movies, my children’s book published by Random House and a TV pilot purchased and subsequently killed by ABC.

As most of you probably know, the novel’s protagonist, Howard Roark, believes that all architecture and design should flow naturally from an object’s central purpose.
