Came across this site from @conraddecker. Love the brash, I could care less if you like me approach to marketing services. The world could use more people like this.

Mike, would probably tell me to eff myself, but I've found that dissing big agencies can backfire, especially when you find the need to partner with one. Learned that lesson first hand.

The big question is, who would respond to this approach? Most big agencies, who tend to have the large clients, would be offended, not that I really care so much. Small to mid-size businesses don't have dedicated Marketing people and hence wouldn't be savvy enough to understand the premise.

Apparently the guy's got a lot of work to do. Not that I give a crap. ;-)

Mike Wilkie here -- a little bird linked me this post and I thought you and your readers might find this interesting:

At the time I published my site, I was a Creative Director at a big shop. I was looking for potential freelancers to do some work for us and got fed-up with the stale and uninspiring way most creatives presented themselves and their work online. I thought it was high-time someone satirized the standard "portfolio, services, contact" formula that's so popular. I can't help but wonder who these people really are and what they really stand for. I wondered what a freelancer's site might look like if it were unabashedly honest. So I wrote the copy and slapped it into HTML over my lunch break one afternoon.

Funny thing is, within a week I had more strangers contacting me for freelance work than I ever had in my freelance days -- in spite of the fact that I created the site as a joke. Several of the offers were good and I ended-up taking them! Of course, there's been a fair share of negative feedback too, but the whole point of satire is to stir the pot. Besides, you know what they say about "bad press." ;-)

How kind, Mike thinks I have readers!

That answers my question. You've managed to tap into the business "mavericks" (no political reference intended) who also feel that the marketing community is generally disingenuous.

Should you decide to get back on the grid and work for an agency, the agency could simply claim to not be like those other guys.

On a side note, it's nice to see that you use standards-based markup.

Give a shoutout to that little birdie.

Children and teenagers who face the greatest risk of nutritional deficiencies tend to use vitamin and mineral supplements the least, researchers reported Monday.Among 10,828 US children ages 2 to 17 years old who participated in the 1999 to 2004 United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, roughly 34 percent had used vitamin and mineral supplements in the past month."We hypothesized," Dr. Ulfat Shaikh told Reuters Health, "that children who had poor diets (low vegetable intake, low milk intake, high fat intake, low fiber intake), world of warcraft goldwow power levelcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerlevelingbuy wow goldEverQuest 2 goldeq2 platfaced food insecurity, had less physical activity and poor access to health care, would use such supplements more.""What we found was for the most part the opposite of what we expected,"cheap ffxi gilffxi gilfinal fantasy gilMaple Story Mesosmaple story accountmaplestory MesosLOTRO Goldlord of the rings goldLOTR Golddofus kamaskamas dofus said Shaikh from University of California Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento."Other than children who were underweight (we did expect these children to use more vitamin and mineral supplements and found this to be true from the data), runescape goldrunescape powerlevelingrunescape moneyArchLord goldarchlord powerlevelingbuy ArchLord goldflyff penyabuy flyff goldflyff moneyWarhammer goldbuy warhammer goldchildren who used vitamin and mineral supplements were for the most part healthier, had more nutritious diets, greater physical activity, lower sedentary activity, lower obesity, lower food insecurity and better health care access,"

Yim's group looked for a link between placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (pCRH) and postpartum depression.
