MTLB #4 Video-cast from DC Cannes premiere

On Sept. 21st, Advertising Week DC hosted the domestic premiere of the 2006 Cannes Lions Advertising Festival winners. The podcast team was there...



Find out what Ad Club members know about the Cannes. Our first video podcast (vidcast, videoblog, vlog...) features member vignettes and an interview with David Baldwin, American judge in the outdoor category. Mr. Baldwin is ECD at Mckinney in Durham, NC. He talks about the 'rich pageant of our industry' that is Cannes, and if the festival weren't 4,000 miles away, this podcaster would definitely be there. David sheds some light on the judging process, the misfit creatives he hung out with, and why some relatively average ads can win international competitions.

The quite-possibly-anticipated first episode. We feature highlights from Tom Laughon’s luncheon presentation to the DC Ad Club entitled “big ideas, creativity and innovation”. Tom is the founder of Catch Your Limit Consulting.

We also have the latest DC Ad Club news and events as well as our “Deep Quote of the Month.” by Marshall McLuhan

Big thanks to Ad Club members and voice actors extraordinaire Sheldon Smith and Kirk Penbirthy. They’re the great voice-over talent that did our intro and bumpers. You can also find them on a helpful casting site called ProducersHandyDandy.com.

Giant shout-out to Clean Cuts Music and Sound Design for providing studio services for our intros and outros.

Genesis (not the band)

So in anticipation of our first podcast, we've established this little blog. This is where we'll have the summary for each show / helpful links to the stuff we talk about in said show / and a forum for your comments. You can also email the Podcast Team at MakeTheLogoBigger@gmail.com.

Make The Logo Bigger is (will be) the podcast of the Advertising Club of Metropolitan Washington. AKA DC Ad Club. Each show will feature Club news, advertising-related banter, and insightful interviews. No Phil Collins, I swear.
