I worked at the Stanford Agency, in the 1970s. The agency was named after Bob Stanford, and was 7-Eleven's in-house agency from 1956 - 1989.
In 1989, when the parent company of 7-Eleven and the Stanford Agency went bankrupt, thousands of artifacts such as reels of commercials were destroyed.
I am helping lead an effort to gather as many of those artifacts together and hopefully put them into a collection at a major academic library.
Other writers and producers have helped us gather hundreds of commercials.
We are also writing a book about what it was like to work in a place in which the kind of humor you can listen to if you play this QR Code below was required on a daily basis!!
Stay tuned as the book gets published.
IN THE MEANTIME,.
here is a :60 RADIO COMMERCIAL - "THE INVENTOR OF ICE" written by the late BOB PECK. Voices are BOB STANFORD and FRANK HARTING.
Short essays or "slices of everyday life" written in the
"Who am I?", "Why am I here?", "What do I want?" format.
The format of the Three Simple Questions takes you by surprise and is an artful way to read and process thought-provoking concepts.
The eBook version is a great bedside reader!
