“Creative people are basically this 50-50 blend of ego and insecurity. From an ego standpoint, you think you’re hot shit, but really, deep down, when you go to bed at night, you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m good enough. I’ll try to make it better tomorrow.’ “

i wanna work in advertising
Hi. My name is Stepa Mitaki.
I'm a 23 y/o digital mind working in advertising. Born and raised in Murmansk (Russia), currently living in Moscow. Typical Apple geek, tv series junkie, Manchester United fan, listaholic and organizing nerd.
This is my personal junkyard of advertising-related stuff I like: ads, quotes, links, news, whatever I might be interested in.

He (Lee Clow) clearly didn’t have time for a lot of the bullshit or the false trappings of business. He said he figured his agency had more dead ideas in the trash can than any of the other agencies ever made.
