I know, it’s been a long time and I am NOT a responsible blogger. But nevertheless, I persist, and I treasure each and every one of you that read my posts. It’s important to me. Today, I’d like to talk about campaign ads. Since it’s coming up on local election time, I’ve seen a spike of orders for political spots. Positive and negative. While doing political ads are fun for me, I prefer to stick with positive campaign ads. Something about doing a negative attack ad just doesn’t sit well with me. However, a client is a client. I always attempt to steer the client away, as gently as I can, from doing negative attack ads. I think, in the end, it looks better for my business, as well as their campaign. But try telling that to a campaign manager who already has their mind made up. Ultimately, you cannot control a candidates campaign.
Just remember as election time nears for many local officials, that you are in the business of giving the client what they want. But you also have a reputation to maintain as an ethical business owner. Know when over the line is over the line for you, personally. Only you can make that decision. Just my random thoughts on a Sunday morning. Good day.
