with Frank Adman

Frank Adman
Frank Adman needs your nomination for a Shorty Award!
Welcome, dear reader to the Shorty Awards. Hopefully you're here because you've followed my daily observations on the ad world. _____ Twitter, you see, is my private time machine. Somehow I’ve managed to bridge the gap between now, 1963, and what most everyone out there claims is 2011. Twitter brings me tidbits from the future and reassures me that martinis will exist and the fine art of advertising will live on in this future world. _____ The Shorty Awards are intended to celebrate all that is Twitter. It’s a tip of the hat to those rare birds who have mastered the art of 140. The ones who continue to delight and inform us with their comments and consistent insights. Take a look around. There are some wonderful, smart people in here. _____ To highballs, hi-jinks, and corner offices. _____ Always, @FrankAdman _____ PS When you have a few free minutes check out my #Innovative TwitterTV show: http://bit.ly/frank15_twitter_tv
