Something cheaper and better. Maybe it's already starting to happen, but not everybody sees it yet. Kris, if ad agencies and big media go out of business, something will come along to take its place.

You say that your end goal is to get into "Big Media" and yet you want to put ad agencies out of business - The problem is that "Big Media" depends on the Ad Revenues generated from Madison Ave.? How are we (media) supposed to maintain revenue to support production without the big ad budgets? Please correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like you want all of the benefits of big glossy two page spreads without the ads that pay for the big glossy two-page spreads. I guess we could always start charging more at the news stand... I totally agree with the ground-up PR philosophy but…

Try posting a personal ad for a threesome from the POV of a bottle of wine and see what happens ;) Taking it to the extreme, you could even position yourself as a "first date wine" or even THE first date wine.
