Ouch.
The agencies that John West rejects… Shame McSpedden Carey is still not around. It’s all been downhill since then.
smells fishy…
Fark! Who’s on the pitch list?
Grey helps tobacco companies peddle cigarettes to teenagers. karma
BWM got to be in with a great shot, some great work on another of the simplot brands, and now they have some seriously good people freed up since telstra announcment.
BWM – You’ve got to be kidding…. ‘Eat Well – Edgel’ beetroot and corn outdoor super sites is the WORST advertising in the history of FMCG. Terrible.
@2.07, your inside knowledge seems to be a bit selective. Leo Burnett help sell fags too (Philip Morris). I also hate cigarette co’s, but singling out Grey is a bit naive.
Ant had a good relationship with the client, and despite this account being ‘death by research FMCG hell’, he managed to get some nice work up. Good on him.
Looking for a Karma explanation? I’d suggest WPP’s influence…
@4.35. Totally agree. Definitely not Dave Rollins’ finest work…
