He is a definitive outsider that is among the last of the thinning breed of fearless ad men left in America who's not above "ruffling feathers" with his "can-do" attitude to get the job done
for small and large clients with negative-to-positive thought provoking, out-of-the-groove, and occasionally shocking ads.
He never blamed anybody for not hiring him in normal times. (These are not normal times.)
Q. OK, if Cotton is such a hotshot guy, where I have been for the last 10 or more years?
A. Good question. From advertising in the 90's he fell into a counter-trade business for multi-nationals, made a ton of money and played with his stock portfolio while caring for his family.
Now he's back to his first love creating exciting ads that will impact the business climate, having fun doing it, and as always? .
Q. If Stan created an ad campaign for me would it have the look of these obviously vintage ads?
A: Graphically, No. Conceptually, Yes. Ads that come to grips with the times will grab attention and interest for your product or services.
Q. Cotton's ads are (uh), a bit off the beaten track.
A. You bet. He considers that a compliment.
Q. What if I wanted to see one or more contemporary ads?
A: Stan will have them with him in the form a deeply stirring and illuminating PowerPoint presentation.
Q.: Will conventional ad agency head honchos embrace Cotton's aggressive style and tell you it's worth a shot even if their ads are not working ?
A. Absolutely not! The reasons may well infuriate you.
If you get to do business with Stan, here's how it works. Call or email to let Stan learn about your project. Specify your media. Print, net, direct mail, billboard or just looking for a PR stunt.
He will come up with a copy concept or two that may scare the pants off you, but knocks the socks off the public. And if you were making money before the bottom fell out of the markets, you'll make it again.
Have any doubts?
Then challenge him and he'll have you wondering whether he's a screwball or a genius.
