A client I worked on with my last agency (social AOR) just went to a different agency (brand AOR) to make 3 x :30s using a line that I wrote and a similar concept we pitched.

I haven’t been with that agency or worked on that brand in over a year but I know I wrote the campaign line.

I don’t feel comfortable with someone else making my work, but I also don’t feel comfortable putting my name on it — especially when I never worked at the brand AOR.

What have others done in similar scenarios?

You don’t own the line or the concept, the client does. They can do whatever they want with it. You can’t be so precious about it and you def shouldn’t put other agencies work in your book if you didn’t execute it. Even if the concept is similar. Many agencies and creatives come up with similar ideas so you can’t even be sure they took it to begin with. I can’t tell you how many times my creative teams have presented almost the same idea to me because lots of factors lead us down similar paths. Just put your own work that you did for social in your book and move on.

Yea man, also when you work in-house, they even own your pencil sketches, like even the bad ideas.
