In July 2018, The Cranky Creative blog debuted as a place for copywriters, graphic designers, and other creatives to find comfort and community when our jobs got us down. Its raison d’être was:
“Let’s find solutions to the challenges that keep us from doing our best work and being the happy creatives we are.”
Today, The Cranky Creative blog is also home to a growing number of TV ad reviews. Why ad reviews? Because creatives make the ads, and every one of us — creative or not — has to watch them.
I think most of today’s advertising is terrible . . . and I’d like to try and make it better.
Join me and let’s have some fun along the way!
Rob Rhode is The Cranky Creative
