Dear account people:

You don’t have to weaken ideas to ‘make them sellable’.

The best way to make ideas sellable is to strengthen your client relationship.


But i guess the first one is easier huh?

This quote from Nancy Reyes is insane. Equally insane that it was shared and championed by another omnicom exec. YOU’RE the ones who are killing advertising. YOU’RE why it’s not fun anymore. YOU justify every merger with a new definition of what advertising is, how the industry is changing, and what we need to do to keep up. YOU’RE downsizing us to death and that’s nothing to be proud of.
