Nobody would change anything, so there’s no point in calling out all the issues
Every update at the end would say “No changes were made after the show.”
Soooo… basically Kitchen Nightmares but with ad agencies? Can’t forget the best part where the restaurant/agency closes in about a year.
Got to admit, it does make for great TV! All the crying with the owner(s) saying they want to change and they make changes. Then after the “rescue” they go back into the same habit that was the issue from the beginning.
Or Squid Games where 500 copywriters compete for one LinkedIn post.
What we really need is a rescue for those of us who chose this crap career.

I’d be more interested in a show where an ad industry exec goes and tries to turn around a struggling brand.
They’d just go around and say, “AI” a lot.
There isn’t enough on here about the agency equivalent of the “butt funnel”
