Headline Story: How Advertising Changed my life...

We are in the era where trends are changing,  people are becoming really addicted to cyberspace and all sort of smart phones that are meant to make life easier:-when a phone can do teleportation, then I'd believe.
it makes us unaware of  the surroundings and situations around  because we have our heads bent to that small device that has us entranced. it makes us do what it wants at will, when we hear the sound that alerts us of an incoming message, we all but forget what we were about to do and reach for the little devil.
I have been caught in the web and I can say, that I have lived to tell the testimonies.  However,this is what advertizing has helped me do
  • Become aware of happenings around me, I take in a whole lot, because right there could be my Eureka moment.
  • Broadened my knowledge bank, imagine getting briefs on different brand and lawd have mercy, what this my eyes has seen eh, my small mouth cannot tell.
  • Look critically at adverts, looking to find the rationale for the message.
  • Going out has suddenly become my forte,  though I'm yet to resume my cocktail expedition, but going places has suddenly become my favorite pastime.
  • In advertising, you are never judgmental, the lines between good and evil blurs and at some point intertwined.
  • Find all the sides there are to me, and what shocking revelations I have made.
  • Not shocked when I find people acting weird, because in advertizing, there are really crazy people.
  • Sometimes, all I do is doodle, doodle and scribble..like Kenny says" never let the white bull be the boss"
I have to cut this post short, just had my Eureka moment, and you don't know how many days it took to get here. (hehehe)
