The Gunn Report

Ask a creative about good ads, and without a doubt, we'll whip out an award annual. Our intuition tells us that the stuff we think is cool will work. I mean, for real, if you can get a calloused adman to say, "I wish I thought of that," you should be moving product. Right? But how do you get a number cruncher to trust the intuition of a jean-clad creative? Say it with a Gunn.

Every year, Donald Gunn publishes The Gunn Report. It's a compilation of the award winningest ads from around the world. It's kind of like the holy grail of award shows. While Donald does have the coolest name in the ad game, he's also dedicated his life to uncovering the connection between award-winning work and work that sells.

Brian Wilkens will give a brief talk about Donald's findings.

The Denver 50

The wheels are turning. The judges are stoked. The Denver 50 is well on its way to materializing as an actual award show. Find out the state of The Denver 50's corporealness from El Capitan, Matt Ingwalson.

A Reel

After talking about awesome work, we'll see what it really looks like. Gregg Bergan will stop on by with the latest volume of Lurzer's TV Archive in tow. Cross your fingers for some sexy Brazilian ads.

I've talked with Thought Equity and they intend to have the fridge filled with Blue Moon. That always draws a crowd.
