I love this post (not gonna connect my blog to this response so my coworkers don't know I'm talking about them, but I have to tell this story!) <br /><br />We are working on a branding initiative for my university. I was showing the director of graduate programs for biology the new look that was going to be on grad program brochures (essentially a photo of a mid-aged adult with a certain vibe to it). She was really disappointed that there was going to be a human being on the cover because biology people like pictures of scientific things. She did not want people in any of the photos in the entire brochure. <br /><br />I thought I had convinced her to try this new direction by the end of the meeting, but in a few days I got an email that said she had "surveyed" some of the current grad students, and they indicated that had there been a human being on the cover of the brochure when they were looking for programs, they would not have considered coming to our university. Really! They know that about themselves. Wow - very self aware! <br /><br />I was told that if I put a human being on the cover, I shouldn't print very many copies b/c it was not going to be usable. I just shook my head. How can I argue with such compelling data.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101059195328496385.post-53449714470626406562009-07-06T21:22:17.494-04:002009-07-06T21:22:17.494-04:00Kinda like zombies, I think you'd say.Kinda like zombies, I think you'd say.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125792591159561789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101059195328496385.post-45923069319235187662009-07-04T01:22:36.475-04:002009-07-04T01:22:36.475-04:00Once again, you're challenging me to think car...Once again, you're challenging me to think carefully about the media and my interaction with advertising in particular. Darn it.<br /><br />Good post, Sam. We need constant reminders that we are not as fully aware as we think. Most of the time, we are stumbling around, half-awake.
