Keeping the Faithless happy

To schmooze or be schmoozed? That is the question. Ad agencies are used to wining and dining clients, but now they have the chance to be on the receiving end.

To woo the ad men, BMG is offering creatives exclusive previews of the track in the back of a black Chrysler Voyager while sipping champers. The Diary is just waiting to hear the song “ad nauseam” on TV ads in the next few weeks.
