I think initially it was fun. But then OMB got bigger and brands started approaching them for hosting these contests against a prize that's so ridiculously small when compared to what an agency would've charged. Even if most creative submissions don't stand up to the mark, any brand is still receiving creatives made at no cost, which, then starts to sound exploitative to me.

Exactly why I won’t do it.
i ran a similar thing called “Ad-a-Day” at the beginning of the pandemic, and to avoid the “giving away free ideas to the brands” thing, i made up fake products for real brands (ex: what if CAT made children’s toys, what if nike made luxury tuxedos, what if coke made coffee. those types of things).
people seemed to like it.
I don’t take them that seriously. They’re a bit of fun, nothing more.
