Anyone here ever notice that the vast majority of work out of Chiat/Day LA is celeb focused? I get it's LA but where is the strategy and creativity.... Celebrities have always been the easy, conventional solution for brands attempting to capture cultural clout and piggy back on other's fame, rather than creating their own.

Thoughts?

In internal checkins everyone always seems on board, but afterward they will just go in and completely change the slides without consulting me. I love feedback, but I've never experienced this before and rewriting slides without my input feels like a major line being crossed. Unless I'm just crazy? I truly don't know any more.
