Here’s a brand that you’ve probably never even heard of. In fact, they’re more like “the brand behind the brand.” They’re called R/GA and they do marketing for other brands, which explains why they do such a good job with their own. They’ve got followers on Twitter who have absolutely nothing to do with the advertising and marketing business; they’re just here for the snark. Because that’s one thing R/GA delivers — snark. And lots of it.
Check out a few of the tweets that have come from R/GA in the past:
They’re particularly fond of mocking other companies in both the marketing and media industries. “Vice Media worth $1.4 billion, according to the company that paid $580 million for MySpace,” they posted back in 2013. And then there’s this observation posted a few weeks ago. “Apps have become the ex who deliberately leaves a book or article of clothing in your apartment. Any excuse to message you.”
The man behind the tweets isn’t some paid intern or a whole crew of recent business school grads. It’s actually the company’s executive VP, Chapin Clark. And Chapin totally sounds like the kind of guy that would be a lot of fun at parties. (That’s not sarcastic. He really does.)
