Brewster McCracken Launches First TV Ad

Lead with our values??? (0.00 / 0)

He said it in every answer during the KUT radio debate and it doesn't make any sense. I may still vote for the guy but every time I hear him say "lead with our values" it becomes less likely.  Please don't let business buzzwords replace thoughtful policy plans or vision.

We need more synergy in city govt to create a dynamic paradigm shift in order to realize the potentiality of what could become of our cooperative communicativeness.

baloney, pol_wol (3.00 / 1)

City gov led synergistic-dynamic paradigm shifts towards cooperative-communicative potentiality realization is old media. What we need is to capture and monetize bleeding edge creative content and sustainability niches through synergistic public-private fiscal and creative investment and social entrepreneurship, virtually and IRL.

And you know, lead with our values. Get with it.

Not replacing... (0.00 / 0)

I think it is affirming that we are going to ask ourselves "is this consistent with Austin values" before taking action.

It is a tag line that represents a pretty thoughtful policy portfolio. Without context, it may not mean much but one is limited to 30 seconds. (Besides, without context and in a vacuum, "CHANGE" and "YES WE CAN" don't mean much either.)

I'll buy a pound of it, or a tube of it, or one with tailfins. Definitely a brighter smile! The packaging is impressive.

McCracken used to work for CIA director Porter Goss.  You're probably being voiceprinted as we speak.

nice (0.00 / 0)

production, lighting, editing, and photography. i can hardly be surprised given all the major local film endorsements. i believe mcracken is a very strong candidate but i question the grassroots loyalty that the base he has constructed will deliver.

Not very good (0.00 / 0)

This is not a good ad, I expected better. McCracken better watch his backside, because Carole's going to be biting at it. Her ad works.
