Google woos ad agencies like a fish woos a bicycle

So who are the Mad Men now?

Google is currently sending many very bright young things into the highly neurotic agency world and attempting to charm those careworn advertising beasts with candy and t-shirts.

Why does this immediately remind me of the Scientologists who regularly try to stop me in the street to jolly me into a stress test?

But just as the Scientologists don’t realize they are actually acheter cialis contributing to my stress levels, these chipper Googlies are failing to realize that the kind of inducement that appeals to the majority of ad agency folks tends to be candy of a slightly less legitimate constitution.

And while I am told several have been temporarily amused by the Scient(olog)ists sending in their version of the Happy-Clappy Doo-Dah Band, when push comes to shove (the intermediate stage being the snort) Google will need to try slightly more, well, engaging tactics than these.

Wouldn’t it be utterly bizarre if Google resorted to doing an ad campaign? If they participated in creating a great one, that might just be one way to earn a little more agency affection.
