Having landed firmly and inexplicably in his 40s, Mr. Francis would like to ensure that the next stage in his story is told in a manner that is relevant and contemporary without being sad or cringe-inducing. Objective Mr. Francis is looking to avoid the pitfalls common to many American men who exit their 40s by leaning heavily into “Cool Dad” tropes while pulling back from “Not Really Old, Just Too Old to be in the Club” vibes. Mr. Francis is very concerned with entering his next phase without looking like he is hanging on to his past preferences and aesthetics. He would also very much like to steer clear of the usual 40-something predilections: cigars, a ff airs, vintage cars, an obsessive new physical hobby like cycling, Tommy Bahama shirts or Steve Harvey suits. Purpose Mr. Francis would like to age in a graceful and stylish manner, like a Nick Wooster. What he would not like to do is continue to wear slim-leg pants because it just feels right when wider cuts are really what’s poppin’ in every new Noah and Aime Leon Dore collection. He would like to know who all the newest drill MCs out of the U.K. are and be able to talk about them but not have to really listen to them. In short, the client has watched all the shows, heard all the records, and eaten at all the restaurants (and earned his living & reputation telling everyone else about them). He would now like someone to return the favor and tell him what’s good for once. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Request for Proposals Introduction Objective Purpose Target Audiences Current Status Requirements Selection Process Budget Proposal Deadline & Schedule
