Lew Robertson's Superbowl Party &
Creative Roundtable: Strategies for Breakthrough Advertising

A good month for beer and barbecue.

Lew Robertson put on a stupendous Superbowl Party, with top-rate barbecue and an enormous 8-foot video screen (featuring a lifesize Janet Jackson!). Lew knows all about food, and now we do, too. Later in the month, we went to the Furama Hotel and had a great time drinking happy-hour beers while trying to hear over the happy-hour crowd. Our brave panelists: Riney & Deutsch account alum Steve Morrissey, Campbell & Ewald CD Neville Anderson, Millward Brown's Eric Villain, RPA planner Patrick Early, Roundtable chair Paul Elliston.

Creative Roundtable: Surviving as a Creative

A panel discussion on creative living for staff creatives, freelancers, and agency principals.

Graciously hosted by The Creative Group, this first LACC Creative Roundtable set a high standard. Nice offices, nice spread, nice turnout. Colette Brooks (Big Imagination Group) told us what it's like to run your own agency, Jillian Stern told us how to turn up the heat on your freelancing, then Rosann Calisi from O&M and Matt Bogen from Saatchi told us about getting in the door. Geoffrey Frankel spoke about the Creative Group's approach to freelance work, and Roundtable Chair Paul Elliston moderated.
