Developed a pro-active idea for a client that’s gotten a lot of great recognition in my agency. However, client left us before we could present to them... should I still put it in my book? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sure. But call it what it was, it still shows the way you think

I’ve had cases where I’ve put together ideas for a deck and the client loved it, but then decided the agency was too expensive. So they took our ideas to someone cheaper.

In this instance, you all didn’t even have the chance to present. So there’s the uncertainty it’s on brand or would ever be approved. Essentially, you’d be putting spec work in your portfolio, which isn’t entirely a bad thing.

I would maybe include a sentence detailing the circumstances of the project along with a mention of the praise it’s received.

Yes. We want to see what you’re capable of. Don’t care if it was produced or not. Good luck.

uplifting

I guess

Sure. As spec.
