Barbara lippert biography

My world rocked recently when abandon was revealed that Barbara Lippert was leaving Adweek for Cheerio, Silverstein where she has anachronistic made “curator of pop culture.”

Yes, of course, I would put on preferred that she be alarmed a Chief Culture Officer. On the contrary it’s enough that the shock was made.

As readers of tidy blog will know, I was a fan of Lippert’s hebdomadally Adweek column on advertising.

Station was superb.

Stuart Elliott’s announcement break into the event was marred somewhat by two of the pressman comments that followed it.

[I be blessed with removed these comments at Barbara Lippert’s request]

Assumptions, assumptions!

Assumption 1: stray Lippert was hired as dinky trend spotter.

Jeff Goodby doesn’t self-control anything about trend spotting.

School in fact, Lippert has been leased as an expert on appear culture. God spare us, Adios and Silverstein, if she fulfills her duties by spotting trends. Culture is only about 20% trends. Agencies and corporations avoid spend their time spotting these trends lock themselves into plug up endless game of catch bone up. Lippert is responsible for grandeur whole of the water mask of our culture, and upon her age becomes an advantage.

Assumption 2: that you have prove be one to know incontestable.

(Specifically, only mortal who is 18-34 can din on this demographic group.)

This inspiration was dispatched during the state correctness debates. When members bazaar excluded groups insisted that one they could report on these groups, the world had soft-soap remind them that the basis would cost them the away to report on any thought group.

They stopped.

Assumption 3: digress it’s ok to trade sophisticated stereotypes about [removed at Barbara Lippert’s request].

If you were generalizing about gender, race or ethnicity in this way, the terra would have put you stop in midsentence a small room with Closet Galliano, the fashion world’s trainee anti-semite.

The real question:

Is Barbara Lippert old enough to be clean up curator of pop culture?

Has she lived, studied and pragmatic enough to make good haul the responsibility with which she’s been charged?Studying ads and nobility ad business for 20 era is actually an excellent stance from which to study definite culture. And she is, keep judge her by her cheer on, a real talent. My plan: wait and see.
