It’s the new year so you’ve probably read a lot about trends and influencers. Hopefully you’ve seen through the bullshit and avoided buying shirts made of feathers.

Here, JWT’s Ann Mack (title: trendspotter) earns some media — and laffs — for working at a “real-enough” sounding company. J. Walter is spinning in his trendy grave, as we type this. See below as the nice-looking blonde tells people on the TV to buy things. Sneaky.
