Si Raul, Oh!
I googled MR (or MS) Raul Castro of McCann and I came across this:
Si Raul, Oh!
A tribute to Raul because he reminds us of the value of having a sense of humor!
Oh my, he is just really one funny guy. Nobody who attended the AdSpeak '08 would forget his speech. It was so good we forgot it was a seminar. Really inspiring and moving. Like you watched a really good movie, going home remembering, memorizing quotable lines. Anyway, I'll paste here some of good posts from the blog
Scenario: May isang payat na bading na print producer na madalas umikot sa floor ng creatives para magpapirma ng mga print ad for release. Kahit bading siya at madalas umikot sa floor, halos wala kang marinig sa kanya. Parang wala siya doon. Isang araw di nakatiis si Raul.
Dumaan ang bading na print producer sa may area ni Raul. Tiningnan mabuti ni Raul ang print producer. Nilapitan. At biglang tinapik sa balikat...
Raul: Ay! Totoo ka pala! Akala ko isa kang multong bakla.
Scene: Raul and a couple of AEs are having a ciggie break in the outdoor caf.
Raul notices that AE Guy is obsessively smoothening his shirt.
Raul: Kanina mo pa ginagawa yan. Parang feel mo talagang hawakan ang dibdib mo ha!
AE Girl: Actually, gusto niya lang mag call ng attention sa boobs niya! Hahaha!
Raul: Bakit, malaki ba talaga? Sige nga, tumalon ka para makita natin.
AE Guy does the unthinkable. He jumps in place.
The macho art directors who are smoking nearby shake their heads in disgust.
Raul to the Art Directors: O, I’m sure ayaw ninyong tumitingin dahil baka tigasan kayo! Bwahahahaha!
And the Art Directors are thinking: now if only it were a girl…
Eksena: Sa gitna ng isang victory party. May isang girl na bitbit ang kanyang boylet. Make out kitty make out si girl and boy sa isang sulok ng bar nang biglang lumapit si Raul...
Girlyloo: (regaining composure) Hi Raul! This is my boyfriend ____.
Raul: Wow! Kailangan pa naging kayo? Kahapon?
Boylet: Actually, 2 days nang kami.
Raul: Bakit, may 3rd day pa ba? Bwahaahahaha!
Raul: 1, Girlyloo: 0.
Raul speaking to a copywriter who could easily be mistaken for a child because of his modest size
"Masyado ka pang bata para maging bakla!"
Scene from a brainstorm session. After the first wave of ideas have been pitched in, Raul looks at the suits in the room...
Raul: We have great ideas here. Now go do your thing first. Creatives will talk amongst themselves. Magma-marijuana muna kami at mananaginip. Tapos magkita na lang tayo ulit. Kami na bahala. Basta may dala na kaming mga idea.
The creatives get the joke. Some of the suits don't. Uncomfortable silence. They're not sure whether Raul is serious or just dicking around.
Raul: Bakit? Wala bang nagbebenta ng marijuana dito sa McCann?
REALLY FUNNY. Too bad the site's no longer updated. I would love to be his YAYA, stylist, PA, taga-payong or whatever. HAHAHA. Raul Castro = idol!!!!!!!!!! And naman, ang mga nagawa niyang TVC, pamatay. Isipin mo nalang lahat ng ads na di mo malilimutan, GAWA NIYA YUN. hahaha!!! I could imagine the work atmosphere at McCann having him as ECD. Whewww!
I wish I video taped his speech.
Dream boss.
