Serviette Scribbles | A scribble about advertising: How advertising can save the world (repost)
http://www.serviettescribbles.com/2015/06/how-advertising-can-save-world-repost.html

These friends, the same ones I'd save the world over a cigarette with, are confounded by my decision to work in the ad industry.
