"Wow, that powerpoint was truly inspiring." Said no one...ever. #thebrutaltruth #marketing #advertising

“The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own.

Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.” - Simon Sinek

Simple, brilliant campaign of outdoor ads from McCann Beograd, "Support The Doctors," which asks us to recognize real-life heroes when they appear. Art created by McCann senior art director Lidija Milovanovic. Click each ad + look closely. Thanks to @nudd + @adsoftheworld

Your sales pitch, not so cleverly disguised as a connection request, is completely lame. #socialmediagarbage #thebrutaltruth #sales
