Disrupting the Ad World | A Candid Conversation with Omid Farhang

Walter Geer

We're doing something a little different on Tagline this week. Instead of speaking with people about the ads they've made, we're asking them about the ads they love. We have stories from four top creatives today—Omid Farhang, Pum Lefebure, Walter Geer and Gerry Graf—about advertising that deeply influenced them. We hear about old ads, new ads, even some ads that made them want to work in advertising in the first place.
