How we will be in ADCI.
Guastini Massimo decided to run for president of the ADC.
has written a very complete program, which we copy below. Despite
Massimo is a friend and someone I respect very much, I'm not going
on this blog, which is a tested and not myself,
to take a position in favor or against him.
What I think the public interest,
is broadcasting a program that, for the first time in years, try to guess what the future of this profession, and how creative people can influence these choices (comments are welcome here, but also on the top blog
well as on the facebook group specially created
). Since the degrees

my job.
Because I love this profession and I think I have the energy, determination
and ideas needed to make a change within the club
Because I think that the current context
necessarily require a change to return value to our category
.
Because I am convinced that the tools used by the Club
(annual and holiday) does not are more useful.
Because I believe we should pursue the goals already in the statute
ADC in recent years have been rather ignored
:
Article 2. Purposes of
2.1 - The Association has the following purposes:
2.1.1 - Encourage the exchange between members and professional
entities or persons involved in the communication
advertising or editorial, in Italy and abroad.
2.1.2 - The primary goal is to improve standards
creativity in the field of communication and
disciplines related to it. Promoting awareness of the importance of these standards
within the business community,
institutional and the general public, in Italy and abroad.
2.1.3 - Working for the qualification, promotion and development of professional

Why are certain that we should not only speak to
our community, but to broaden the dialogue partners in

associations can offer the possibility of returning to play the role that belongs to us:
protagonists of communication.
2) It gave dignity and value to our work.
We must regain credibility
and authority through a continuous dialogue and discussion with the world of
companies.
3) Return to be regarded as cultural workers.
As we were when intellectuals of the caliber of Eco
asked us to take the field and participate in issues

economic, managerial, practical and ethical.

2) It gave dignity and value to our work.
We must regain credibility and authority through
a dialogue and discussion continue with the
the business world.
Let me summarize the current situation:
- we are becoming more precarious by the professional and paid less
chain.
- we are the laborers who work day and night to churn out ideas

- our point of view has less and less.

To achieve this second objective we
change the way we relate to the outside. Both individually and as

is not only a beautiful dream. It 'an achievable goal.

attraverso progetti di comunicazione, sia attraverso
comunicati stampa e interviste.
Se prendiamo parte ai dibattiti di pubblico interesse,
acquisteremo rilevanza.
Se parteciperemo a realtà editoriali che stanno nascendo,
daremo risalto alla nostra voce.
Se sapremo usare la ricchezza di talenti all’interno del Club,
produrremo punti di vista e contenuti che altri vorranno

reclaim "The Friday of Enzo." They were a good initiative.
I think it's possible to have a senior associate,
every Friday afternoon in the clubhouse, ready to meet some young people to see
portfolio and give advice.
The President of the ADC and its Board of Directors
should be available once a year, at a meeting with
young people who want to enter our world of work or
who started dating a couple of years.
Portfolio Night is certainly to be replicated.
5) Being a reference point for all creative
, colleagues and partners, including aspects
economic, managerial, practical and ethical.
Trasformarsi in una “macchina da annual” ha annichilito le
occasioni di incontro, confronto e interscambio. Abbiamo
“tradito” gli scopi indicati dall’articolo due del nostro Statuto.
Aumentano i colleghi indotti a diventare liberi professionisti e
quelli che fondano piccole strutture indipendenti. Spesso
non hanno nemmeno idea di cosa significhi aprire una
partita iva o una srl. Ma con la loro inesperienza
contribuiranno a determinare il mercato. E non in meglio.
Se vogliamo ridare valore al nostro lavoro dobbiamo sapere
noi per primi che valore dargli. Dobbiamo aumentare la
consapevolezza di tutti i colleghi, soci e non, sugli aspetti
economici, e gestionali del nostro lavoro.
L’averli delegati ad altri è parte dei nostri problemi attuali.
Dovremo promuovere degli incontri dove condividere
metodologie di gestione; criteri per determinare le richieste
di remunerazione fatte alle aziende; comportamenti etici sia
nell’affrontare il mercato sia nell’espletare le nostre funzioni
quando affrontiamo determinati temi o lavoriamo su
determinati settori. Non intendo vincolare le scelte di
nessuno. Ma penso che un club di protagonisti della
comunicazione debba esprimere delle linee guida.
E dovremo confrontare i nostri orientamenti di pensiero con
rappresentanti del mondo delle aziende, anche in incontri
pubblici.
6) Having an annual profit to common goals. The Annual

Any news that we will, whatever the instrument
used, it must fight the prejudice that the club is
self and does not represent the reality of communication professionals
called "creative".
The news will help build the image of a
Club at the forefront in fighting the battles that can not be postponed
:
- in the precarious category
- working conditions surreal
- exploitation of young
- Communication of Europe

we will press office activity "insightful and combative."
I wish it could run inside. Not so much for
save. I really think that we would know it better than anyone else

Un progetto del genere potrà anche trasformare l’annual da
mero costo a potenziale guadagno.
Chi si occuperà della redazione dell’Annual?
Il consiglio direttivo sceglierà ogni anno un responsabile
editoriale il quale, a sua volta, selezionerà i responsabili delle
mini redazioni per ogni settore della comunicazione. Le mini
redazioni si avvarrano del contributo volontario. Uno dei loro
scopi è quello di innescare un interscambio culturale e di
esperienza fra tutti i Soci, sia quelli giovani sia quelli anziani.
Cosa pensi della questione dei fake?
They are a phenomenon that affects, not positively,
the vision that our partners in the company have
