Friday Blues... Campbell-Ewald to lose GM Chevrolet ad account

[Patrick]

Sure enough....the ad world discussion boards have lit up with coastla pricks mentioning that Detroit is bad....no creative...in a bubble...yadda yadda...same shit over and over again.

What really sucks about all this is that it's a Detroit based company [[Chevrolet) giving the shaft to a company based in Detroit [[Warren). If Chevy would've just kept status quo, it would've been fine- but instead it's bolting and sinking another dagger into the area. Even if they would've jumped ship to another agency in town, it would've been better. And maybe I sound regionalistic about it, it just sucks to hear local businesses sticking to local businesses.

This just stinks of someone in on the take here somewhere.

GM board of directors has always had its share of token preachers, teachers, and community activist types since the early 1970's, of various persuasions, with at least one female on the board.
Has meant nothing for the last 30 years and means nothing now.

Hmmm..only involved in watching GM since the bankruptcy. It's the social activism that seems to me a poor fit for the company. You just want to think the board is geared towards mfg. and finance issues. thanks for enlightenment.
