When to take my name off the door

Famous Leo Burnett Speech Gets Animated --

If you've been in the advertising business for any length of time then you are certainly familiar with Leo Burnett's "When to Take My Name Off the Door" speech he gave in 1967, four years before he died at the age of 79. The speech, as the title implies, is about the certain circumstances under which Mr. Burnett would require his name be taken off the door.

See animation firm Lobo and their animation to go along with Mr. Burnett's words at AdRants.

He Is The Devil! Pokèmon Said So! It Says Crystal Clear! There Is One Clip (I Forget Wich Episode, But You Can Find It Here On Youtube Under Pokemon Subliminal Messages And Click The One With A Man Upsideown) The Scene Is Innocent. But While James Is Being Eaten By His Pokèmon, His Speech Does Not Sound Like The Normal Mumble It Sounds Like A Backwards Tape! You Play It Backwards You Hear, In A Normal Voice & Clear. Like Its The Actual Audio, "Leo Burnette And 4kids Are The Devil! Leo Burnette-"

[corina07haha]

I love you for sayin that!!!

[TheShortTemperedOne]

4kids and Leo Burnett are evil.

Marlboro man was just one of many developments created by Leo. This speech is the truth of a functioning design company...many have lost roots in graphic design and it's meaning. Visual communication that inspires...not how flashy and how many gradients one adds to look good but miss the message.

A fine remedy to the Goldman Sach's dissembling from yesterday.

"When to take my name off the door" a speech by Leo Burnett, the creator of the Jolly Green Giant, the Marlboro Man, Toucan Sam, Charlie the Tuna, Morris the Cat and other seminal US ad campaigns.

"When you are no longer a corporation with a conscience ...

when you compromise your integrity ...

When you stoop to convenient expedience and rationalize yourselves into acts of opportunism -- for the sake of a fast buck."

Satans little helper

[plusle96]

[dhatboy1]

@plusle96 he s the devil!

[muserock7997]

@plusle96 he used subliminal messaging

[donnamariealba]

They most certainly did!

[saftevand]

@donnamariealba - they didn't know the harmful effect of cigarettes back then...

[arkum107]

I wonder what Mr Burnett would have to say about thysthys's mis-spelling: "speach" rather than "speech"...?

[saftevand]

@arkum107 - He would probably have forgiven him since thysthys at least took the time to learn a second language which is more than you can say about most Americans...

[gusssssssss]

É o DELBA!!!!!!!

[DavidEverittCarlson]

Yes, odd isn't it? One has to ask themselves if their own business has these kinds of principles. I've worked in the education business now for five years and I can tell you -- if a few more speeches like this were made, people might respect teachers more. Education makes advertising people look like saints.

[ebox30]

It always frightens me that advertising people think that what they do is so important that speeches like this are made.

[ShawnMichaelE]

Hmm. I wonder what business you are in. Can you imagine a banker or an insurance man making a speech like this? How about a stock broker or even a doctor? Real estate agent? Factory worker? Pray that what you do has a principle, a creative element, the purpose of actually making something. If it's only a bit of advertising, that's more than most business people make in a lifetime. Be frightened, and ask yourself what you made today.

[veblensgood]

i make nothing. i own.

[tinkey1886]

Who is Leo Burnett ??? Im only 13 and i dont no know bout this guy but im asking because i was watching a short clip of pokemon and then it was played backwards and it states "Leo Burnett and 4 kids are the devil" .. I'd like to no who was this guy did he have something to do with the devil ??? Plz responed back to me bout this .. Thnx ..

[CitizenMekong]

Yes, and if you play the Beatles "Revolution #9" backwards John says, "I buried Paul" and that wasn't true!

[narutoafgoku]

it true it as clear as day it was ment to be said like that it was discoverd 2 years ago by 40kids so dont go around acting like people are lieing

[CitizenMekong]

Huh? 40 kids? All at once? Geniuses! Try the Beatles, 40 years ago. Also, learn how to spell and punctuate.

[narutoafgoku]

i really dont care

[narutoafgoku]

u act like its school its called fast typeing ass hole

[DavidEverittCarlson]

I worked at Leo Burnett from 1989 to 1997 both in Chicago and in Korea. This was Leo's retirement speech. We should wish every corporate founder had this much conscience and grace. Playing the Beatles "Revolution" backwards, however, yeilds John saying the line "Turn me on deadman". It is at the end of "Strawberry Fields" on the album "Magical Mystery Tour" where we hear John say "I buried Paul", which he claimed said, "I'm very bored".

[cheonsik98]

Hi, do you still work at Leo Burnett-Korea?

I'm in Seoul i also so worked at Leo Burnett for seven years and i enjoyed working with creative people

[gusssssssss]

É o Delboux disfarçado.

[narutoafgoku]

i saw it i thought he owned the copany

[ShawnMichaelE]

He did.

[johnkoetsier]

Inspiring!

[PaulNaas]

Good advice for anyone in a creative job.

[dartlash]

We can all feel that surge of dignity for a brief moment listening to ol' L.B. and then go back to what we were doing : all the things he just listed.
