Domain Name Embarrassment

Nothing states you’re an old school advertising agency like forgetting to renew your domain name…and having someone else pick it up. Adrants first broke a story regarding marketing firm ASABAILEY snapping Ogilvy & Mather’s domain name. ASABAILEY then posted a clever picture with the phrase “”If you understood the modern brand… …you’d understand how to protect it.” Hopefully Ogilvy & Mather will remember to renew next time.
