Where do ideas go when they die? | Resurrecting Great Scripts with the Dead Ad Society
For every ad you see on TV, dozens of brilliant ideas were killed along the way. That gut-wrenching feeling of losing a script you loved is a universal part of the creative process. In this episode, we're going behind the scenes with the creators of the Dead Ad Society, a unique anti-award show where dead ads get a second chance at life. We'll talk about why great ideas die, how creatives cope with rejection, and the story of one ad that was too good to stay buried.
