jay/day

Since I was fortunate to travel from office to office for Chiat/Day, I got to know so many great people. One of my favorites was a receptionist at the warehouse, Pete Kearney. He had a wicked sense of humor, as this photo of him sitting on the potty at his daughter’s school testifies.

I got this great note from Pete the other day and, at my request, he provided me with these great photos of him and his wife, Melanie.

i stumbled across your website a few days ago and thought i would try to get in touch.not sure if you remember me. i was a receptionist at the old warehouse in la and then a broadcast assistant in the binocular building. i believe you were out there for the chrysalis meetings when i met you.

i started at c/d in february of 1992 and left at the end of 1995. i had wanted to be a writer and have since done so, working at places like deutsch, mcann (ny and seattle) plus a few other freelance places. right now i'm at hill holliday ny writing, working on verizon wireless, aol and aer lingus.

it's been a long time since those wondrous days at c/d la. but there isn't a week that goes by that i don't talk fondly of that time and place.

you know i have worked many places, and learned many things along the way. in all honesty, i can still say that c/d, more importantly the people i met there, taught me how advertising is SUPPOSED to work.
