Okay, I promised to use this blog to hang in my best interviews broadcast TV, but seeing the other night the last spot Seat, whose text and voice fall off Julio Cortázar, I felt the need to reflect and write something about it.
always seemed pretentious and grandiloquent title of "creative" to define those who have the trade or profession of sign makers. I think a misappropriation, especially when not in use to define our work in advertising, ie, to distinguish it from work or media accounts, for example, but to define ourselves against other professions:
_ I am a neurosurgeon, and you?
_ No, I am Creative!
_ Ah! How interesting! Always
I wondered: If we are creatives, how should we define Dali, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Da Vinci or many other creative untitled works that have left us more relevant and enduring than a television spot, although -poor, have never won a Lion at Cannes?
Cortázar met at age 12 when my father asked me to recommend a book interesting and fun. After touring with his finger several shelves of his enormous library, choose a paperback edition of Hopscotch and said: I know you'll like Cortázar. I never forgave my father, at that age, I did go from Treasure Island to Rayuela, without having had, before my neurons. But on the other hand, never be sufficiently grateful for having become a passionate reader of Julio Cortázar.
With this announcement of Seat Leon, the agency created by International Athletic, I feel something similar. On the one hand, I find it hard to accept that the advertising used to sell products, the work of an author who today could be defined as "anti" but, on the other, it gives me some satisfaction the fact that not all advertisers and all fools believe advertisers and consumers to go beyond a simple repeated phrase vendor.
to me personally I like the spot. Just need to know, first, the idea is "selling" Seat León, second, whether the target audience know who was Cortázar and third, what opinaría it when her "Preamble to the instructions for winding the clock " has become creative ... creative. Share
