We would like to invite you to join us for our next installment of Deutsch Commons LIVE on Thursday, June 28th at 12:00pm EST with a very special guest:
Bravo head honcho, Andy Cohen!

Andy, EVP of development and talent for the network and responsible for overseeing production of hits like Top Chef and The Real Housewives series, is also host of Watch What Happens Live, Bravo's late-night interactive talk show, and the author of a new book, Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture.

And he is coming to do just that – talk. About his upbringing, his love affair with television, and his rise to the top of Bravo's reality TV empire.

As with all Deutsch Commons Live sessions, we will be live-streaming Andy's talk via our DCL Channel so that Deutschers and non-Deutschers alike can have a front-row seat to this exciting event.

Each year, a third of the agency work force will move to new jobs. Deutsch LA execs will speak next week at Cannes Lions ( http://www.canneslions.com/the_festival/festival_programme/event.cfm?event_id=81 ) about ways to hold on to advertising people, and unveil a new talent retention study we created with the 4As.

Why do agency people leave their jobs? The funny, profane videos below show what agency employees (at some fictional agency, naturally) really say about life in the advertising business—or at least as much of that as we can show. Watch them for yourselves, but here's a preview: account people want more credit, creatives want fewer rounds of edits, and producers want creative to stop thinking so much about sushi.

The videos:

"Ending the Agency Talent Rotisserie"
Michael Sheldon, CEO, and Kim Getty, Partner and Director of Account Management
Cannes Forum, Monday June 18, 14:00-15:00.

Jon has committed his life to doing what he loves and helping where he can. In 2009, he founded Waves For Water ( http://www.wavesforwater.org ), an organization designed to get clean water, through simple, cheap filtration systems, to those who need it around the world.

After a surf trip to Indonesia landed him in in the middle of a tsunami-devastated Sumatra, Jon created a lean effective organization that has provided clean water for well over 2 million people who would have otherwise been left without. He works with the likes of the UN, Nike and Hurley to get clean water to devastated areas before disease strikes.

He also manages to gets some awesome surf along the way.

We're inviting the public to watch Deutsch Commons at http://www.livestream.com/deutschla. We'll also be tweeting at #deutschcl.

So, come and listen to this guy tell you some stories and show you just how simple it is to do what you love and do good while you're at it.

Last week Joe Pytka in LA... this week Danny Clinch in NY!

We are excited to announce that Danny Clinch, famed rock 'n' roll photographer and accomplished director, will be joining us tomorrow at 1PM EDT in New York for the latest installment of Deutsch Commons Live!

We've had the pleasure of working with Danny over the years, and most recently on our Refuel campaign for MilkPEP featuring London-bound Olympic athletes, as well as for the global "Unapologetically Strong" campaign for Unilever/Degree. We are thrilled to have him back in our office and on the OTHER side of the camera for an intimate look at his career as one of the premiere photographers and documentary directors of the popular music scene.

As with all Deutsch Commons Live sessions, we will be live-streaming Danny's talk via our DCL Channel so that Deutschers and non-Deutschers alike can have a front-row seat to this exciting event.

Tuesday May 15th
1:00 pm EDT

Over the years we've hosted influential speakers from inside and out the ad business, including Pandora founder Tim Westergren and author and autism awareness advocate Temple Grandin. Starting this Thursday at 2:00 PM PDT, we're inviting the public to watch Deutsch Commons Live and our special guest, legendary ad director Joe Pytka. You can watch on http://www.livestream.com/deutschla or, if you're in the LA area, join us at our office. We'll also be tweeting at #deutschcl.

Pytka has made more than 5,000 commercials, more than 80 Super Bowl ads, and numerous musical videos. Some of his work includes "Bo Knows" for Nike, "This is your brain on drugs," and the Bartles & Jaymes guys. He'll talk about his career and what makes a great ad—all in his signature no-BS style.

The series will continue with Porter Gale, who created Virgin America's innovative social media strategy, and Team Rubicon, a disaster relief force made up of military veterans.
