Reason to Like JWT.

Had the pleasure of hearing Toby Barlow speak at the Circus . Toby is an ECD at JWT Detroit. His talk was on living creatively. He told the fascinating story of the sometimes serendipitous journey to theses beautifully animated Billy Collins poems. It's amazing what can happen with resourcefulness, luck, a little hard work and a will to create.

While I can't speak for JWT-NY (where Toby worked before moving to Detroit), he certainly is representing the agency much better than Michael Gates Gill is in "How Starbucks Saved My Life." And, to be fair, MGG got canned a solid ten or fifteen years ago.

Anyway, shoot over to JWT-NY's YouTube page and check out the other animated poems. I've watched them over an over again. And I get lost inside them every time. Enjoy.
