This was a real memo received by a copywriter at one of his companies: “Effective late last week the Flavor-iffic project was shelved by the Flavor-Master Consumer Products Division Management. The Reasoning had to do with funding generated covering cost of entry, not cost of entry as it would relate to test market in ’95, but as it would relate to expansion, if judged successful across major pieces of geography in ’96 and beyond. In sum, the way Flavor-Master new products division served up Flavor-iffic to Consumer Products Division Management was that if Flavor-iffic in ’95, ’96, and ’97, in effect have Corporate fund the program, Consumer Products Division could recommend to Corporate to proceed with the program. The decision was made at the Consumer Products Division Management level that Corporate would most probably not accept that and the subject was taken no further.” This was a real memo received by Luke Sullivan at one of his agencies – Fallen, Martin Agency or GSD&M. 143 words.
