archiving the day

My name is Phillip. I'm a 25 year old account planner,or brand planner, or strategist or whatever you want to call it for an advertising agency in Dallas Texas. I really like my job, but I do have a secret desire to be a music journalist for one of those really trendy and pretentious music websites. I'd wear ill fitting pants and ironic t-shirts, drink pabst and hate on any band that got remotely famous outside of Brooklyn. But I digress.

The reason for this blog is to be a way to chronicle what I'm thinking and reading about on a professional basis, however it has become apparent that my "un-office" side rears itself fairly often. In the end I want to keep a record of things that I see and think during the day. If it helps me focus on interesting stuff then its served its overall purpose.

The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right. It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience; but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience. —Thoreau, Civil Disobedience (Resistance to Civil Government), December 1849
People believe in their experience, not in communication. There’s far too much focus on taglines and not enough on a compelling brand idea that acts as internal mantra and drives internal change. These Tags Are It
