It's certainly true that most stars have a short time in the spot-light while great managers/producers can have very long careers indeed. <BR/><BR/>Yes, you're right, we weren't researching detergent, but rather media products and habits And the kids wanted to know the same thing our client did: how to reach their audience.skhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147770743305509403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081835178172740261.post-74999248169411783622008-05-12T19:08:00.000-07:002008-05-12T19:08:00.000-07:00Hm, the finding about preferring to manage the sta...Hm, the finding about preferring to manage the stars and distribute the entertainment is interesting.<BR/><BR/>All antecdotal here but it got me thinking about top entertainment with this crowd, even apart from the amature video producers. <BR/><BR/>On TV, Ari is arguably more popular than Vincent... In sports, Theo was unofficially "Boston's Most Eligible Bachelor" (granted, Brady was taken)... in music, Jay-Z and P Diddy rose from popular to iconic once they became producers.<BR/><BR/>Even on Idol, is it not the judges who are bigger 'stars' than those on stage?<BR/><BR/>It's kind of like that Chris Rock quote (though he intended it as a social statement): "Shaq's rich, the guy who signs his check is wealthy."<BR/><BR/>The kids who came to the group for 'research'... what kinds of ideas were they listening for? I take it this wasn't packaged goods research.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
