Balcom Agency

I was giving blood the other day (willingly I mean...no vampire activity involved) and I struck up a conversation with Janelle, the nice lady stabbing my arm with a needle. I told her I worked in advertising, and she was immediately impressed. "My goodness! That must be exciting. On Bewitched, Darrin was in advertising."

After recovering from the timely cultural reference, I smiled and said "Yes ma'am, and that's exactly what advertising is like."

Advertising is a romanticized profession. Hollywood portrays advertising as a fast-paced, sexy profession and people like to picture it that way. So, I'm officially bringing the 'sexy' back to advertising. From now on, I'm gonna wear suits to the office everyday. I'm gonna drink scotch at lunch and scream at my imaginary assistant to take letters as I dictate.

So, dear coworkers, when you smell the cigar smoke from downstairs, I hope you give a little smile and remember, Scott's bringing it back.

You're dismissed.
