archiving the day

My name is Phillip. I'm a 29 year old account planner,or brand planner, or strategist or whatever you want to call it at an "internet" advertising agency called razorfish in New York. I've worked for retail giants, pro-sports teams, electronics, on big american cars, and come up with quite a few inappropriate ideas for male hygiene products. My job entails explaining social concepts and trying to generally be "up" on stuff like trends, people's habits, media, the things that may interest my clients (especially when they have no idea how it would interest them). I live in the East Village (best place I've ever called home) and like attend loud concerts as well as quiet ones. Food and drink is also a big part of my off time pursuits.

This is some of the stuff I run into on a daily basis.

thedailywhat: Hustler of the Day: Jay-Z’s Rocawear clothing label just released its Occupy Wall Street solidarity shirt, inviting you “to show your support for the Occupy Wall Street Movement…with a dope tee.” And while you’re showing your support for Occupy Wall Street with Hova’s (potentially plagiarized) ode to anti-greed, the brand will be showing its support for Regular Wall Street by making bank. When asked by Business Insider if any of the proceeds will be going to benefit OWS, a Rocawear rep responded: ”At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.” Problem? [bi / gothamist.] For all his ability with music he is absolutely tone deaf on this one. #brandfail
