Nicholas GallIt’s a Small World #3897:
I was recently in Manhattan on business and took the opportunity to have dinner with our dear friends Allison Tolman and her beau Peter Cohen. In the course of our conversation, I was explaining what an IT industry analyst does for a living by referring to the now-famous (at least in the worlds of analysts and consultants) UPS commercial about the two consultants that first aired, I believe, during the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
As I described the ad, Peter’s smile kept getting bigger and bigger. I paused and said, "What’s so funny?" Peter replied, "That’s my ad." My jaw dropped to the floor. I’ve know Peter for years and I never knew he’d been involved with one of my all-time favorite ads. Mostly, we would talk about his creative work for Sun Microsystems, but that’s a topic for another post…؟
Check out Peter’s other work as well.
