Best wishes!

Spokane’s a great little town, isn’t it? I miss it a great deal; I grew up there, and it’ll always be my home town. I may even try and return someday. You’re right about the talent, too. It’s often overlooked. It’s probably a good thing that it’s overlooked by the holding companies, though.

Anyway, keep up the good work. Take care.

San Francisco is a very expensive city, with a lot of big city problems. A wonderful place, but there are some tradeoffs.

I’m a big believer in small- and medium-sized cities. They’re a lot more sophisticated than they were, say, 30 years ago. Life here is very sweet.

What’s your story and how did you make the decision to come to Spokane after so many years in San Franciso?

I in no way want to disparage the people of FCB and Riney. So many of them were great folks, and extremely talented. They were leaders in all areas of creative including pioneering talent in the digital realm. And some great account planning and research, too.

But management did not create a supportive environment. There were way too many layers of management. And little relationship between the creative teams and the clients. So it was a failure of management, not individuals, to create an environment of teamwork.

Just goes to prove once again, “you can’t give what you don’t have.”

Good to get your point of view.

Keep creating,
Mike
