About M.E. (Missy Elliott)

Missy doesn’t live in Essex. A quick google says she’s never even stepped foot there. Missy also thinks job titles like ‘Art Director’ are pretentious. She’s never heard of TBWA\London. And didn’t study advertising at Bucks. Missy wouldn’t write her own ‘about me’ section. She’d get Dre to do it, or George RR Martin. Because doing it yourself is ‘wack’. And don’t get her started on writing in the third person. Sure she’s won Grammys, but she’s never won a Cannes Grand Prix. She thinks Cannes is a film festival and she didn’t judge the 20th Annual Food and Beverage Awards. In fact, she wasn’t even invited to the 20th Annual Food and Beverage Awards. She’s never won a pitch either. Let alone pitches for companies like Lidl, Adidas and Airbnb. Although she does like cheap caviar, wears shell toes and owns a Malibu beach house. Missy has probably directed some of her own work in the past but can she retouch, film, edit, draw, write copy, strategise and produce it too? Well yes, she’s a very talented lady so probably. She is not however in the process of starting a fishing tackle company with her father-in-law. Nor has she written her own recipe book. And she isn’t a Tottenham Hotspur season ticket holder. Which she is very relieved about. She is categorically not an advocate for counter-intuitive ideas, and has never said anything like ‘the wrong thing for a brand to do, is often the right thing to do’. That kinda shizzle is crazy talk. According to Missy anyway.
