A Horrifying, Hilarious Look at What Today's Top Creatives Will Look Like in 35 Years

0

Sure, renowned advertising creatives Gerry Graf, Tor Myhren, Rob Reilly, Tiffany Rolfe and Ted Royer are riding high these days. But things are about to come crashing down in a serious way.

The AICP takes a dismaying look at each of their lives 35 years from now in a hilarious series of videos, unveiled today, promoting the call for entries for the 2015 AICP Awards.

Each of them is in horrifying shape, having seen their careers—and their lives—spiral into utter shambles. The one thing they can hold on to is their long-past success, which the AICP has helped to preserve. (AICP-winning work gets archived in the Museum of Modern Art, which is more validation than most ad people ever get.)

"Craft your legacy. We'll protect it," says the on-screen text. The accompanying website is craft-your-legacy.com.

The spots are hilariously written (Reilly and Graf conceived the concept with AICP president and CEO Matt Miller) and nicely directed by Brian Billow of O Positive. And kudos to the actors for their delightfully disturbing takes on past-their-prime ad people.
