Got Bad Ads?

Well, if you do, drop your agency and give us cool people at Omnific a call. But if you want to stick with your current blokes, you just might win an award! Yes, a real, proper award!

Meet The Tracy Awards. The Emmys of crappy advertising. With coveted honors like “Most Grating Performance By a Human”, “Best Use of a Jingle to Justify Suicide” (listen the the last 10 seconds of the video below to hear the horrid 2009 winner in this category), and the all-hailed “Absolute Worst Ad in America”, there are sure to be some weighty contenders. And it’s not just Uncle Bob’s Tires in the running, we’re talking Quiznos, Microsoft, Oreo… Big timers.

Last year, over 1,000 submissions were sent in (which kinda makes you wonder if these big agencies just have a multitude of disgruntled creatives), and this year, there are sure to be even more now that the word’s hit the street.

2009 Winner, "Best Use of a Jingle to Justify Suicide" Category

Think you could win one of these bad boys? Post me a comment here or hit me up on Twitter; I’d be happy to enter your bad ad into the running for this December’s ceremony. Just a heads up, though, you might get a proposal and treatment for a new campaign that could win you a totally different sort of award (yeah, the good kind).

Till next time,
Jesse
