Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is 25 years old this year. And so is my agency, Campaigns, which has been my second home for nearly that long.
The movie and agency do not seem to share anything in common. Ferris celebrates free spirit. The quintessential coming-of-age story.
When I walked into the doors of Campaigns, I knew that was the beginning of a purposeful chapter, something that was and continues to be adult and professional.
But perhaps there’s one thing that’s Ferris-like about my life in Campaigns. Life, as Ferris famously remarks, moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around you might miss it. For Ferris, it took all of one day to embrace life and have fun. Mine has been almost a quarter-of-a-century-long stop. I still enjoy every minute of it. La vie est belle dans la publicité.
It ends there. I’d like to think I’m not looking like Ferris of today.
