Jerry Seinfeld’s honorary award acceptance speech to an audience of fellow liars at the annual Clio Awards hosted by the US advertising industry on Wednesday.

Bob ‘The Ad Contrarian’ Hoffman opened the 2014 ITV Spotlight Lecture last March – a debate on the failed predictions of advertising experts over the past decade, with particular focus on the social media marketing of brands, to wit:.
..there are people in our business who believe that consumers are ‘in love’ with brands. They believe consumers want to have ‘relationships’ with brands. they want to have ‘brand experiences’ and be ‘personally engaged with brands’. These people actually believe this.

You’ll like Bob.
