On October 19th, we had the pleasure of attending the AAF of Colorado Springs’ October luncheon featuring John Matejczyk of MUH•TAY•KIK|HOF*FER. John is “known as a rare advertising creative who understands how to unleash creativity on a business problem. He re-launched Boost Moblie, guided Snickers, Starburst and Skittles. He was also among the most highly awarded creatives while a part of Goodby, Sliverstein & Partners, producing work for HP, Netflix, Budweiser, and “got milk?”

John came to the Springs to talk to us about adverting – focusing on how everything has changed, and how nothing has changed. Old Media, New Media – the same rules still apply.

1. Great work can come from anywhere
2. On serious issues, rather than using scare tactics – make them giggle.
3. Give the viewer something that inspires them – makes them think, or laugh, or feel inspired. Continue the adventure »
