I can’t tell if this is clever or just some tricky way to poach work from other agencies. Oh wise older ones, tell me what to think. Everyone on linkedin just says “Wow!” or “I love this!”.

From their perspective, doing a super bowl spot is high visibility and likely a great case for new biz in future.

We’re not in great shape, but as soon as completely free work is normalized outside the RFP process, we’re doomed.

Free work outside of RFPs has already been normalized. Agencies were, and have been, asking production companies to triple bid on jobs that weren’t sold through to brands since forever, without ever letting them know they weren’t yet greenlit.

I’m not a wise older one, but seems like this is a selfish and irresponsible cash/publicity grab. Goes beyond a funny stunt when you’re portraying the whole industry as worthless idea monkeys.

I’d expect this from a lone, unemployed CD looking for work. Not an agency.

In fact, if I was a potential client, I’d definitely avoid the agency that did it.

It’s too desperate.

Pure publicity. This place does some funny work they didn’t even need to do this. Kinda pathetic and sad, like selling 5-cent apples on a corner during the Great Depression.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?
