Goodby and Silverstein 25th Anniversary

A note from Lee Clow
August 25, 2008
In the early ’80s, two young and talented guys influenced by this culture set out to,yet again, change our expectations of what is creative, what is advertising? I’m sure that back then their ambitions weren’t that high-minded. It was 1984 and we (Chiat\Day in L.A.) were having a pretty good year. Jeff Goodby and Rich Silverstein, now proprietors of their own advertising agency, wanted to have breakfast. I think that because I was older they thought maybe I was wiser about passionately running a creative agency. The guys I met didn’t need much advice. They had all the right motives. They wanted to do great work.

Q & A with Jeff Goodby
August 25, 2008
Jeff Goodby is like your favorite uncle. Mellow, unpretentious and funny, but with a calculating creative mind and rabid curiosity. On the boards of the both the Salvador Dali Museum and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, his range of interests provides colleagues with a valuable perspective far beyond advertising.

Q & A with Rich Silverstein
August 25, 2008
They say that if talking to Jeff Goodby is like getting a massage, chatting with Rich Silverstein is like getting a jolt of electricity. In laid-back California, Silverstein has never lost his edge.

Meet the Partners
August 25, 2008
Goodby and Silverstein get top billing, but what about those "Partners"? They've been key to the agency's longevity, this cadre of veterans who have, professionally speaking, grown up at GS&P and absorbed the collective wisdom of the principals. Their talent, enthusiasm and dedication are a big part of the agency's success, and their bosses say they embody the spirit and vision to lead the agency into the future.

The Client is Always Right
