This morning we missed what may have been Advertising Week’s first-ever protest, which was held this morning down at New York University. The event, staged by the Writers Guild of America, aimed to "call attention to the widespread use of product integration in television, and to protest [writers] exclusion from an advertising industry conference where top entertainment and advertising executives will be meeting to discuss this trend," according to an email sent to the office yesterday.
