@McCann1: Spot on. Any global car brand anymore is slice and dice. They still spend well (relative to other clients today) so agencies chase them - but they are process intensive ad manufacturing at best. There are genuine creative opportunities but they are few and far between and then risk getting watered down by the powers that be. The time and $ these brands lose switching agencies so often also further bogs down momentum and does a disservice to everyone engaged in the brands marketing.
