WHO OWNS THE WORDS?

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:28:00 +0000

It’s not just print that faces obsolescence. It’s fiction itself.

The quote from which this post takes its title is by William Gibson, writer of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? in a Wired article from June, 2005. He writes:

“Today's audience isn't listening at all - it's participating. Indeed, audience is as antique a term as record, the one archaically passive, the other archaically physical. The record, not the remix, is the anomaly today. The remix is the very nature of the digital.”

It’s cliché to say that the future is headed in the direction of recombinant, reused, rehashed, remade reality. Process (making the YouTube video) has vastly outpaced the value and quality of the product (a good video) itself. The modes of creative production are inherently more interesting than creative itself.

In other words, we are at a juncture in history where a fiction ‘inventor’ is just as intrinsically important to creative invention as a fiction ‘cut-and-paster’ or fiction ‘developer’ who can aggregate pieces of reality into a pastiche.

In other words, you don’t need to be a writer to make writing. You need to be an aggregator.

A collector of interesting things. And then make interesting, aggregated content. More now than ever before in history. It’s silly to debate intellectual property. That ship has sailed. Twitter is one continuous retweet.

When was the last time you were content to wallow in someone else’s fictive world? The skills of a true original content creator (or ‘fiction writer’) have been democratized. Steven Johnson, founder of Feed magazine and an outspoken cheerleader of digital production writes, “one of the great joys of book reading — the total immersion in another world, or in the world of the author’s ideas — will be compromised.” And that compromise comes at the opportunity we all have to live in that world of ideas. Yet, at the same time, fiction is all we have that’s truly our own. Reality belongs to whoever can grab the most.

We all own the words. We all own culture, music, film and art. It’s terrific and unfortunate at the same time. And as content is slowly, incrementally replaced with ‘versions’ of reality, the author, inventor and creator is left to yell into the wind.

Snow Days

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:18:00 +0000

Snow days…love them or hate them. As I was watching the weather report over and over to make sure I had the latest information so I could be prepared for the next couple of days, I remembered sitting around the kitchen table as a child wondering if Albion Public Schools “closed” would make the announcement. The excitement my brother and I would have when we would hear those words. We would race up the stairs to our bedrooms and start the layering process. Tights, socks, long underwear, sweats, mittens, hat, ski pants and winter coat, and as always forgetting to pee before we put all the clothes on! It was as if we were the Stay Puff Marshmallow Men and our knees and elbows wouldn’t bend. How much fun we would have once we got out of the house! Jumping in snow piles, and off the roofs of garages into snowdrifts, sledding down hole number 4 of the golf course, building snow forts, making snowmen, breaking off icicles from the side of the house. And then there were the snowball fights where it seemed like every kid in town was participating. Of course the older boys would always end up making ice balls and hitting the girls to make us cry…

After day dreaming of the years passed, I decided this would be the snow day to relive a little of my past. I wasn’t going to worry about how early I would need to wake up the next morning to sit in traffic to make it to work on time or think about how many people have no idea how to drive in snow. Instead I called my friends and invited myself over for a day of snow fun! I went through the layering process just as I did 30 years ago (remembering to pee first this time), hopped in my car and headed out for a day of fun. Mind you, there was not going to be any jumping off roofs into snowdrifts, as my insurance deductible is just a little too high for that kind of excitement, but snow balls, snowmen, rolling around in the snow and burying the dog were definitely on the list! I was so excited for the day’s adventure. I arrived at my friend’s house, sweating from having so many layers on and immediately grabbed the dog and headed outside. Dawson and I rolled around in the snow and I threw the ball so he could dig in the snow to find it. I buried him over and over again as if it was the funniest thing ever. We built a little snowman just the right size for him to jump on and knock down. Thank goodness he was such a good sport in helping me relive my childhood memory. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of frolicking, we were both ready to head back inside. Cold and tired we plopped on the couch to settle in under the blanket and watch some TV. We looked at each other like WOW what a great afternoon. I looked at the clock and realized huh, that only took 30 minutes. Oh well, what a good time we had!

My ah ha moment

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 23:59:00 +0000

So I think my blog was due about two weeks ago. Have I been procrastinating? You betcha! Why you ask? I could give you a million excuses, but what it boils down to is that I do not consider myself to be an interesting blogger. Nor do I consider anything I could write about interesting enough for people to read. Give me a choice of running a marathon that I have not trained for (and would most definitely take me over 4 hours) versus write a blog that would take me about 1/2 hour, I would choose a marathon. How about sit through the movie “The English Patient” or write blog? Or clean the toilet that our daughter has been camped out on for the past 1/2 hour? Sit through a five hour flight stuck between two large smelly men or write blog? Ok, maybe not that last one, but you see where I am going. I admit it, I am the rogue dead beat O’Brien blogger. But get this, I have FINALLY come to understand through this experience why our daughter waits until the last night to do her writing. Lay out all of her homework and we can count on a major blowout every Wednesday over the bonus writing. It is SO painful, but what she produces after a long grueling discussion is fantastic. Given this assignment, I completely get where she is coming from and feel very lucky that my name gets pulled out of the hat only once, maybe twice, a year. Am I proud of what I have written? Sure. Do I think it is a piece of junk? Not so much. Do I have several other ideas of what else I could have blogged about? Right on. If I could have figured out how to get them on paper to make sense to all of you, would I have picked another topic? Word. So there you have it folks, my ah ha moment, about 2 weeks late.

Acronyms

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 23:50:00 +0000

Am I the only one or does it seem like no one wants to say full names of things or full sentences anymore? If you know me at all I’m very much in favor of efficiency, but I think these acronyms are getting out of control. Everywhere I look I’m surrounded by acronyms.

Besides the obvious texting world, I’ve noticed companies are starting to shorten their names to join the trend. Of course, I’ve always been bombarded with them from my industry and job. Then, there are people’s job titles within this industry.
And finally, as you may or may not know, I’m a mom. When I first joined this culture I went on BabyCenter.com and read those blogs and comments. Let me tell you, that was like trying to decipher a whole new language! Anyway, I thought I’d give you a little test and see how well you do.

The Lilies, The Giant Cat & My First Day!

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:36:00 +0000

I am the newbie at O’Brien. Fresh out of college and ready to start my career. Or at least that’s what I’d say now, two months in. You should have been there the night before I started my first day at my first big girl job… The night of the living lilies!

When I got the news I’d be joining the O’Brien crew my boyfriend did what any thoughtful boyfriend would do and sent me “Congratulations on your new job!” flowers. The bouquet was beautiful and sat placidly enough until the night before my first day. That fateful Tuesday I came home to find my cat covered in bright yellow pollen looking guilty but satisfied. At first, we laughed. Grover looks like a canary! Tee-hee! We gave him a bath in the sink much to his disliking and were fully prepared to move on to Taco Tuesday. Then a quick Google search produced grim news. Turns out lilies are deadly to cats and I had to rush my 22-pound, soaking wet, angry beast to the vet. Of course when we got there they lost their power so back into the carrier Grover went. Emergency vet clinic # 2 was able to take Grover into custody and treat him over night.

Meanwhile, I am desperately seeking Cassie’s cell phone number to tell her I won’t be able to come in for my first morning and my dad is wrestling said cell phone out of my hands and telling me that I will indeed go in for my first day because “My cat ate my lilies” doesn’t exactly sound plausible. In retrospect, thanks, Dad.

Cat lady jokes aside, I love Grover and I think I only slept about 45 minutes before having to pick him up at 6 a.m. to take him back to his normal vet. I showed up at O’Brien determined not to mention my ordeal so my new coworkers wouldn’t immediately peg me as the crazy cat lady. Two minutes later, I was telling my new friend Nicole all about it… So much for my conviction!

Despite all of that, I made it through the first day and am still here and much more rested. The irony of the congratulations flowers and the ordeal they caused is even funny now. As for Grover, he spent two more days in feline jail hooked up to an IV and trying to maim vet techs, but I’m happy to say he pulled through like the sumo wrestler he looks like.

THE CASE OF THE MISSING O’BRIEN O-LYMPICS TROPHY

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:38:00 +0000

This story begins as a typical sunny afternoon that took a turn for the worse when the O’Brien O-lympics trophy went missing and this photo appeared in its place.

To solve the case, you need to know the story...

In traditional O’Brien fashion, the annual pool party was a hit. An afternoon filled with laughs, games, drinks and lounging by the pool. Our competitive nature came out when this year’s O’Brien O-lympics offered up a trophy and bragging rights to its winners. Teams were divided by departments and the Brains versus Brawns competitions began. With everyone’s game faces on, the O-lympics started out as a fun, light-hearted competition. But as the day progressed, the competition became fiercer.

After the competitions were complete and scores were totaled, one team rose to the top: the Account Service Team. With trophy in hand, Cassie & Caitlin claimed their victory.

When Monday came and we walked through the doors of O’Brien, there was the trophy, sitting on the front desk, taunting all that had played and lost. The draw of the OBA trophy became too much for some and a plot was devised to kidnap the trophy. One team member in particular took a special interest in the trophy when she walked in, claiming that she was the rightful owner of the trophy. It came as no surprise, that by end of day Monday, the trophy had gone missing.

The normally good-natured people of O’Brien had turned competitive and one of these teams managed to kidnap the trophy, and all the glory that came with it.

Put your detective skills to work and use the clues to decide who’s to blame.

Was it the media team in the library with the calculator?

Was it the studio team in the foyer with the exact-o knife?

Was it the administrative team in lounge O with the telephone?

Was it the creative team in the kitchen with the sharpened pencil?

Was it the wildcard team in the conference room with the stapler?

The account service team wants their trophy back in safe hands. The first person to solve the case of the missing trophy wins a $10 Starbucks card from O’Brien Advertising.

Sorry O’Brien employees, as this case hits too close to home, you cannot participate.

Technology

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:10:00 +0000

I’m kind of the tech geek here at O’Brien Advertising. I love new technology and everything it has to offer. I’m down for anything that can help improve day-to-day workflow.

Ever since my wife and I had our little boy 3 years ago, I’ve been thinking a lot about my dad and what technology was like for him 30 years ago when I was 3 years old. Did he have a cell phone? What about a computer? Did we even have cable TV? We definitely didn’t have the Internet at our house! Running water? That last one was obviously a joke. These are all easy questions to answer now, even without calling my dad, because in today’s world all you have to say is, “Just Google it.”

Being the geek that I am, I did Google one of my questions. I wanted to know when the Macintosh was invented to see if he had a chance to use one of these, now amazing, machines. And the answer is YES; my dad would have had a chance to own a Macintosh computer. The first Apple computer (Apple I) was sold in 1976, and the very popular Apple II, one year later. But of course, most of the middle class population could not afford the $10,000 price tag. Well at least that’s what $2,500 probably felt like 30 years ago.

So then I went a little further and checked out Steve Jobs, Macintosh God, and how he became such a superstar in the tech world today. It’s a very interesting bio and I strongly recommend you, “Google it” in your free time. And because no one really has that much free time any more, I’ll leave you with a hyperlink to an interview with the Mac-God himself. He talks a lot about what was, what is, and what is going to be.

D8 Steve Jobs Interview

If you’re a big geek like me and want to see the entire interview, not just the highlights, “Just Google it.” You’ll be able to find it on the Internet, Pod Casts, Apple TV, iTunes, iPad, and any other Tech-y device you love to use.

Summer Caffeine Supply for the Troops

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:42:00 +0000

A long time ago we had a freelance writer who called himself “Caffeine Creative.” I always liked this because I love caffeine and I love creative. Perfect.

Now that we are in the dead middle of a long, hot summer, another creative caffeine option comes to mind. Sun tea. This was introduced to me initially when I lived in Arizona, where sun tea jars bask on every porch. I am positive the sun adds magic and extra stimulus to the caffeine. But too much of anything is not recommended, so the tea had to be diluted later in the evening with tequila. Talk about magic and stimulation.

Colorado has more sunshine than Florida, so in the summer sun tea is prevalent here too. Get a gallon-sized glass jar. Fill it with cold water, add three or four teabags and set it on your porch in a sunny spot for a couple of hours. With the economy the way it is, iced sun tea is a great bargain and keeps us away from the Starbucks gouge.

Here’s to caffeine and creative everyone.

Cheers.

OBA and the B-cycles!

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 23:43:00 +0000

As those of you who are locals probably know, Denver is one of the first cities in the US to launch a bike-sharing program. Here at O’Brien, we all think it’s pretty cool that our fine city jumped to the front of the line to do something so good for the environment and the health of residents. In an effort to support the program, figure out how it all works and frankly, just have a little fun – we decided on a team outing to try the “B-cycles” and get some exercise over the lunch hour.

The bikes are similar to our intern, Kalin and our Jr. designer, Nicole pictured above – super-cute. They’re bright red and shiny with nifty baskets to carry all of life’s little necessities.

We picked up our rides at the Market Street station near the OBA offices. The concept of checking out a bike is simple, but in execution it took more than one OBA team member to run the show.

As you can see, art director Dwane, studio manager Carson and business manager Jessica had to tag team to get enough bikes checked out for the group.

Eventually we managed to secure cycles and we were on our way. Oh the freedom of the open road! The wind whipping through our hair as we sped through our city greeting strangers with happy smiles and big waves and screwing up traffic with our complete lack of knowledge on the rules of the road. None of us could think of any existing precedents for a large group of advertising geeks on cruiser bikes riding through downtown.

Clearly we didn’t belong on the street, so we headed toward the beautiful Cherry Creek bike path where we would be less of a menace.

We took off on a fun-filled ride around the path and cruised by Elitch Gardens Theme Park.

The team agreed that perhaps the next of Denver’s attractions we show our support for should be the Mind Eraser.

We stopped by Invesco field for a haphazard group shot before heading back to the office.

Clearly the “Cool Pics” camera we had along wasn’t designed for timed shots, but we were still able to capture the high spirits of our motley group on our adventure.

And in true OBA style, Carson was even able to muster a few wheelies out of the faithful rental cruiser.

But don’t tell Mayor Hickenlooper, I don’t think the B-cycles were really made for such shenanigans.

After our fun-filled jaunt around the path, we checked in our bikes and headed back to work; renewed, energized and chock-full of fresh thinking for our clients.

Yup, those B-cycles were a darn good idea Denver. A darn good idea indeed.

Kickball 2010

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 23:22:00 +0000

O’Brien Advertising will be without starting pitcher Jessica Wood for the 2010 AD2 kickball tournament. Ms. Wood tore her pinky nail on her pitching hand and will be going to Oregon to see a specialist. The OBA team hopes the injury is not career ending. This monumental loss will make OBA’s chances of making their 4th consecutive semi-final extremely difficult. In an interview yesterday the wounded star stated, “You know, it’s a real tough break. Expectations are high this year. I just hope someone can fill my shoes while I’m with the good doc.” Team manager Jim Conwell will struggle to find a replacement for his star pitcher.

Dwane Cohen
Art Director

A note from our star pitcher who’s on the injured reserve list:

Hi Burnt Carrots,

Just wanted to send out a good luck note for the kickball tournament. I am disappointed I will be missing our 4th shot at the gold, but thought I would leave you with a few pointers from the psycho, competitive person who doesn’t like to lose!

1. If you are in the outfield it is easier to run forward then backward. Some guys can boot it waaaay out there and the jog of shame back to the field isn’t fun.

2. The lucky person who is appointed pitcher will be very sore on Saturday (unless you are a young whipper-snapper). Do some lunges tonight and get loosened up! It’s an honor to be the pitcher and I expect you to wear your pitcher hat with pride!

3. Remember you can hit the base-runner with the ball below the head for an out…utilize this whenever possible. It scares the girls and makes them hesitant the next time up to the plate!

4. Beer ALWAYS helps with courage and stamina! Drink enough to kick every other agency’s tail, but refrain from needing a cab ride home.

5. Have fun!! Victory always puts a smile on one’s face!

6. OBA is a very talented, creative and ATHLETIC team…GO FOR THE GOLD!

I leave you with a quote:
“if you ain’t first, you’re last”
Reese Bobby, Talladega Nights

Kick some A** Burnt Carrots!!

Talking About Cardon 3D Outdoor Billboards With O’Brien AD Dwane Cohen | By Dwane Cohen

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:36:00 +0000

DWANE:
First off, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to talk to yourself today.

DWANE:
My pleasure, it happens more than one would think.

DWANE:
Great. Let’s start with a bit of background on where this concept came from?

DWANE:
Sure. One of our clients, Banner Health, was building a new tower and renaming one of their children’s hospitals. Only problem is they weren’t too fond of using the words “tower,” “expansion,” “building,” etc. They thought they were too sterile. So we came up with “There’s a new HOME for state-of-the art kids’ care.”

DWANE:
So talk to me about how the block house came to be.

DWANE:
Hours of me and a table of building blocks. I felt like I was in kindergarten again. Far from what I felt later on in the process.

DWANE:
You must have been the envy of O’Brien! Getting to play all day.

DWANE:
Yeah you’d think so, but honestly, picture a grown man sitting at a table with hands on his head in frustration over a pile of building blocks. Kinda sad, really.

DWANE:
Alright then. So you finally get a house approved after apparently a great deal of time spent with a pile of plastic blocks. How do you get this thing, pardon the pun, off the ground?

DWANE:
Bill the Builder, eyecandyprops.com, interesting guy. He came over to see us and I gave him a building block house that fit into the palm of my hand. He turned it into a 19’ x 14’ prop that weighed 750lbs.

DWANE:
Whoa, Blossom! What’s it made of? How was it made?

DWANE:
High-density foam, hand carved and painted with a hard coat to prevent the foam from melting.

DWANE:
Melting?

DWANE:
It gets pretty darn hot down there in Phoenix. Now here’s the part I was talking about before. So Bill starts sending me dimensions of the thing. Height, width, depth, changes to our little hand-held original due to zoning, coding, outdoor companies and all sorts of other stuff I didn’t understand. I started to feel like a friggin’ architect. We even had to put plexi in the door and window for wind-resistance issues.

DWANE:
Kinda takes you out of your element a bit. I like it. So tell me what was the best part of the project?

DWANE:
Two things come to mind right away. First, it was about 24 hours before the houses were to be driven down to Phoenix in a U-Haul. Bill calls me to come take a look. At this point I hadn’t seen anything but numbers and drawings. I arrive at his shop and my mind is blown – these things are massive. I couldn’t believe it. Even to this day when I look at pictures of the boards it still doesn’t seem like they are that huge. I had to get a picture with one of them. And second, there are the pictures that got sent to me during the installation process with cranes and a bunch of guys on wires – unbelievable!

DWANE:
Well, Dwane, thanks again for talking to yourself. I look forward to seeing more of your and O’Brien’s work.

DWANE:
Anytime.

O'Brien Hires Renowned Illustrator Clark Tate

noreply@blogger.com (O'Brien Advertising) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:04:00 +0000

In spite of any threat made to my life for giving up information on how I, the illustrator, came to design for the website, blog and rebranding... I'm going to spill it all! This was a labor intensive and sometimes humbling process where first Terri and Dwane combined forces to break my will and my hackneyed style of drawing. This was done by taunting me with bacon and banana splits while I'm tied to the chair at my drawing table. Then as the passport to this withheld nirvana, I'm given a hot briquet to grab with my toes. I begin to draw feverishly. (What else are you going to do with a hot briquet between your toes?)

In the blur of the days to follow, the reams and reams of large newsprint paper, and several bags of Kingsford self lighting briquets.... I came up with what you see here on this blog. And as I sit, my feet in cool water, happily chewing cold bacon shards and staring fondly at the soup which was once a tall banana ice cream tower.... I can say these creatives at O'Brien really know their stuff. And now I'm a little scared about how well they know the human psyche.
