For a guy who eschews the chase of awards and Cannes in particular….and exhorts ad creatives to make their work emulate the cultural effect of the simpsons, john merrifield surely doesnt seem to mind being a judge at award shows.
Does he like the travel perks and free holiday or is he just anti Cannes?
Don’t hate him just because he’s playing the game better than most.
Keeping a door open for when he gets googled.
