How suspicious is it that the client that just gave the pitch of VW in the US to Johannes Leonardo used to be one of the executives from Johannes Leonardo?

Remember this the next time production houses are asked to triple bid against one that “just happened” to sign a director whose last job was working as a creative inside the same agency.

Well clients force multiple agencies to pitch endlessly with little or no certainty of a fair outcome and they require production companies to triple bid. And there’s always someone willing to go along with that. Until we start saying no it will never end.

Could be more about trust and respect than anything else. In a sense, it would be odd if he or she spent ten years building an agency and then didn’t believe them to be brilliant

That is how business is done but it’s not cool to make two other companies spin wheels. The system is there to ensure fairness but it doesn’t work if it is gamed - and if no outside ethics committee that is truly independent is in place to monitor. In the end, it’s all backdoor dealings...so just get rid of the system if you won’t adhere to it anyway and don’t waste other agency’s time...the cost of pitching is too devastating for all involved .

Suspicious how? Is that illegal?

It doesn’t matter, they are going to loose the account in a year after the client realizes the no idea hipster-manifesto-art-film treatment isn’t moving any Jettas

So I recently left a really fun job where I was ridiculously underpaid for a very very boring job that gave me a pretty big pay rise. I thought I could push through how boring it is but nah, not really. Happy I made this choice because it’s a big client but not sure I can do it for long. How long would you give it before quitting? I’m really trying to make the switch to experiential/PR so any help/lead on agencies is appreciated 😶
