The CLIO Awards
Other than cutting grass, painting houses, and oh yeah, delivering beer in Burlington, Vermont, my first real job was as publicity director for advertising's CLIO Awards in Manhattan. Writing about and publicizing the world's best television commercials was a hoot. Plus, being in your early 20s and hanging out with celebs in the green rooms of the network morning and evening talk shows was pretty cool. I left in 1984 due to tragic substance abuse problems with the owner that finally caught up with him in 1991 and forced the sale of the company to new owners.
So, this advertisement for next year's competition has a real deja vu meaning.

Yes, Tony and I worked together in the early 80s. Good guy. As best I know he's the only one from that era still there.
actually, tony left when i did last year. he had been there 26 years. clio's parent company (nielsen) decided they wanted to get involved and run things, lots of changes (not for the better).
