Talk:FCB (advertising agency)

Too promotional

This article is becoming way too promotional. The recent addition of a lot of awards by a COI editor makes this into a "look at me and all my awards" advertisement. I suggest that the awards be cut back to the top 2 or 3 most well known awards and the rest removed. I'll look again in a couple of days and if it's not been done, I'll take a crack at it. – ukexpat (talk) 21:17, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

As a non-COI editor, I pared the list of awards to the most prominent and I think it is now factual and neutral since Draftfcb did in fact wins these awards. CeeMichelle (talk) 21:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I noticed whilst investigating a WP:SPAM violation on deleted page FCB Inferno that this page also has problems (again, apparently). I urge anyone committing edits to this page to actually read WP:SPAM before editing. No objection to this page remaining in place, but that awards section is a bit WP:FLOWERY (although not quite to the extent it warrants a tag) and needs work. I'm going to move to a more concise method of presentation, unless anyone has a better idea. ☭ cmn ☭ ( ❝❞ /✍ ) 15:24, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

4. This article is overrun with award detail that clutters up meaningful understanding. People do not need an exhaustive list of every award they purchased from a professional contest they paid to enter. It's crazy the article cites no awards for the first 100 years of its history, but then cites 100 awards in the last few years. Pretty lame. It's obvious their PR group sees Wikipedia as a venue for self-promotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C7:C000:D569:88A0:9CD4:F815:894D (talk) 03:01, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

FCB Inferno

In addition to the above, I'm also recommending to User:Zxy224 that the aforementioned FCB Inferno be merged as a section on this page, as a subsidary of FCB (if I understand correctly). It is not notable enough to warrant its own article outright, but would be perfectly served as an addition to this page in my opinion. Thoughts? ☭ cmn ☭ ( ❝❞ /✍ ) 15:29, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

FCB Inferno, London, is celebrating the 70 Anniversary of founding this year. FCBInferno.com has more details. Emerson A. Foote traveled to London twice in 1947 to deal with problems of start-up. While born in near-by Sheffield, Alabama, his family had 19th Century roots in Tishomingo County, Mississippi. My comments continue below this item. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7C0:8103:5CBF:C5A8:486B:1101:66EC (talk) 18:51, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Foote's Name (Foote,Cone & Belding)

Emerson Adonijah Foote (Not Emerson H. Foote) was founding member of Foote, Cone and Belding. I have a web page at: chotank.com/classes/claramayfoote.html that provides significant proof.

After 21 years I have shut down chotank.com, but it is available at the Wayback Machine, which has more than 8,000 captures of images and pages from chotank.com since 1998. Emerson and I are both from Iuka, Mississippi families. Emerson's family moved to Los Angeles when he was five years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7C0:8101:E761:EC98:1309:AC88:BED6 (talk) 12:53, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

I became friends with his sister, Clara May Foote Adams in early 80's in Florence, Alabama, where she resided in long term care facility. At the time, Emerson was writing his book (not published until 2014). My book Chotank: A Family History had just been published, and Emerson sent her clippings from Ad Age to share with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7C0:8101:E761:EC98:1309:AC88:BED6 (talk) 13:17, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
