I was recently asked to overhaul a marketing campaign for a major soft-drink brand in the United States.
The money they were offering was off the charts, but I turned them down because they refused to give me full control of the creative process.
Nobody told Van Gogh which brushes to use when painting Starry Night. Michelangelo didn’t have a bunch of suits telling him how big David’s pecs should be while he created his famous statue.
Like Miley Cyrus, I need full control over the work I am creating.
Also like Miley Cyrus, I can’t be tamed.

Ya know, my husband was just telling me the other day that he wanted a soap with more butterfly feces.
lmao hilarious!
Brilliant…who doesn’t need a soap that’s not afraid to go into the dark places. Ha!
hahaha…. thanks for my morning laugh!
I’d buy anything made of butterfly feces! Now if it was made of butterfly tusks and elephant feces…eh, not so much.
maile was at the opposite side of the table while i played this, so she was only listening, but when you said you need a soap that will go into the dark places, the look on her face cracked me up. sort of a shocked yuck.
and of course the butterfly feces was brilliant.
