Fighting the proliferation of mediocrity.

Ad Savior is the attempt of one man, Jason Fox, to rid the world of bad advertising. Jason bears the cranial and cardiac scars only a two-decades-long career as a lead copywriter and creative director on some of the world’s biggest brands can bring. He has created work you have possibly seen and probably liked. Some potentially interesting bits are proffered below, hopefully devoid of more writing in the third person.

Unsolicited Blurbs

Thanks for all the smart stuff I didn’t say. Lee Clow

Director of Media Arts, TBWA Worldwide

Memorize as many of these [tweets] as you can – have ‘em locked and loaded – for every meeting you walk into. In fact, buy two copies. Leave the other one out over by where the account people sit. Luke Sullivan

Chair of Advertising, Savannah College of Art & Design

The tone and substance of the tweets were so similar to that of Lee, that many of his friends, including myself and Rob Schwartz, ECD at TBWAChiatDay Los Angeles, thought it was the real deal until Lee confirmed that he wasn’t the man behind the beard. Nicholas Bordas

President, BEING Worldwide

God Bless Twitter for having the guts to greenlight this handle to showcase the musings of one of the great agency creative minds of the past 50 years. Mike Duda
