The Basics:
The Lowbrow Lowdown is written and published with one goal in mind: fun. A lesser but no less important mission of the column is to analyze the effects of marketing and advertising on culture, society and our daily lives. The immense Lowbrow Lowdown staff pores over seemingly endless streams of content, gleaning relevant, yet lesser-known stories from an array of sources. The end result is an irreverent, opinionated, sometimes indulgent, yet guaranteed legible look at recent news and stories not only affecting advertisers and marketers, but those advertised and marketed to as well.

The Reasons:

  • Great fodder for discussions (online and otherwise)
  • Cost efficient, high quality content
  • Reliable, dependable delivery
  • Virtually no editing required (Before you ever see it, The Lowbrow Lowdown endures a grueling regimen that we like to call "The Hairy Eyeball Treatment")
  • A great read for all, whether or not readers are "in the know" about the ad/marketing industry
  • Prominent link to your site on LowbrowLowdown.com
  • Wickedly controversial
  • Knee-slappin' funny

    The Background:
    Since its inception in May of 2000, The Lowbrow Lowdown has built up a loyal readership of both ad industry folk and their targets (i.e. everybody). The syndicated column (length negotiable) has graced the pages of Toronto's The Brand, the UK's BrandRepublic and also ran each week on the ClickZ Network (out of the good ol' US of A) from June 2000 through January 2001. The full-blown Lowbrow Lowdown is published regularly on LowbrowLowdown.com, and features additional
