Mission Unpossible

If you’re like us, the only thing standing between you and a life of total self-absorption is the constant, whining demands of your clients. So imagine if you will, the intoxicating spirit of fellowship we felt upon seeing the phrase “client-centric” jump out at us in this week’s Mystery Mission Statement:

Entertainment design is a fickle, unforgiving business – what is considered a miracle of marketing one day is passé the next. (and then, later in the week, it reemerges as retro-cool.) In movies, games and home entertainment, trends shift rapidly and are constantly evolving. (strictly speaking, intelligent designers don't believe in evolving.) So it is all the more remarkable that for two decades ------- has been applying its awesome design talent and marketing innovation on campaigns that have stood the test of time. (if this had been an actual time emergency, you would have been instructed where to tune in your area for news and official information. This concludes this test of time.) 

Using inspired, client-centric idea-based methods, (not to be confused with the largely discredited idea-centric client-based methods) ------- creates posters, outdoor and consumer ads, wildpost campaigns, on-line banners and web designs, and now viral strategies for motion picture, gaming, television and home entertainment clients. 

Always pushing entertainment design beyond the mundane (into the super mundane) ------- has garnered entertainment advertising’s highest honors, including multiple Key Art Awards. (we take "multiple" to mean more than two pointy thingies.)

Smug, arrogant, entitled and cheap, their egos are matched only by the stunningly bad office location in a dangerous, crime-ridden, crack-whore-infested part of Hollywood. I wasted way too much of my precious youth and talent at this dump. Avoid at all costs.

(Whoops! ...did I say that out loud?)

Maybe so. I never worked there. But I've always admired their work.

[Les Morizless]

wow, they certainly were correct when they wrote how unforgiving the entertainment business is.

[Poo Eater]

do we judge a shop based on its quality of work or on the quality of life for its employees?
what would aema say?

[StinkyMcFarty]

judge not lest you want to judge others.

The best part of Concept Arts has always been the total lack of "concepts" in any of their work!

The Ultimate Triumph of Style Over Substance...coming soon to a lobby near you.

what's with all the trash talk?

I don't know if I'd trust any agency that actually used the word "awesome" in their mission statement.
Like totally edgy, Dude.
