My proclamation

[edit]

I suggest removing the Management section; it is not really of general interest, and unsourced other than the company's own website, which could be linked to.

Likewise the unsourced section below the references could go.

Absent any objections I will make these changes in a day or two. Pinkbeast (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Creative Marketing"

[edit]

I suspect that this article might have been edited and/or created by employees or perhaps persons who have a special interest in this company. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it might be prudent to monitor this page for "creative marketing" i.e. an expository vs informative writing style. My curiosity (and subsequent suspicion) was peaked by a post to the wiki help desk asking how to change the title of this article from "...(advertising agency)" to something I can't remember exactly but I think was something along the lines of "...(creative marketing company)". To me, that sounded like doublespeak more characteristic of copywriters than encyclopedia editors.

When I first check out this page I was already suspect that it might not even be about a company that was really notable enough for wikipedia, but eventhough I had never heard of them, on face value it seemed this company might be renowned. I'm still not sure whether or not this article is notable, but at present, I certainly wouldn't nominate it for deletion, and I'd abstain from voting if it was. When I took the time to check out the article's references, I found that they were all web references so it was easy to check them. However, I found that many were just links to web posts about (alleged) customers and never mentioned this company.

If this article is worthy in inclusion in wikipedia, in my opinion:

1) Any claims of specific clients of the company should be attributed to a reliable source.

2) Only awards/recognitions directly awarded to (or directly recognizing) this company, (and of course verifiable by a reliable source) should be included in this article. Awards to this companies customers/clients, their subsidiaries, co-ventures, etc. should be included in their own articles but not in this article.

Thank you for the recent check of the references; please feel free to remove any content you think is inadequately cited (I'd do it myself but I know you have checked them out already).
I've found the archived helpdesk discussion. I moved the page on the 15th December from Anomaly (communications agency), a sort of nonsense fuzzy expression, to (advertising agency), which seems to be what they actually are. I imagine this wasn't unrelated. Pinkbeast (talk) 20:01, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How many cases do we want?

[edit]

Hey guys,

I'm new to this and have a question about how many clients and campaigns are reasonable to list under an agency. I often use Wikipedia to check what agency or artist did which work, so I really appreciate having a lot of examples. On the other hand, these lists can become quite long, especially for big and awarded agencies. What do you think is a good balance?

Thanks for your input! JohanTheMagician (talk) 08:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
