Out of apparently nowhere, this ad appeared on the back page of Thursday’s Boston Globe G section:
Local ad agency Connelly Partners seems to have pegged its image to what it doesn’t achieve. (Latest loss the hardsearching staff could find here.) From the agency’s blog:
Truth in advertising. An interesting gambit.
And an interesting poem by Andrea Cohen:
Love that.
Good to see you have taken a break from the usual compare/contrast of the Globe vs the Herald–we were getting a little concerned about your “fixation”!
Hey, someone has to keep score on the local dailies, Bill. Just doing my bit.

As someone that actually hires an advertising agency, as opposed to analyzing intent, I find the Connelly Ads refreshing. Not to lapse into social commentary but these are refreshingly self-deprecating, witty and non-traditional – coming at time when agencies are all too often lionized for churning out mindless drivel.
