If we won a pitch but my partner and I didn’t write the big spots, but still got some ideas here and there for the direction that got chosen, what’s the most favorable way I can describe this victory for myself without being too dishonest?

The way you just described it seems pretty on point. Be honest that you supported the big thinking with xyz idea. You won’t always be starting campaigns from scratch throughout your career, so this shows you know how to give an existing idea more legs.

Just channel your inner m CCO and take credit for the whole thing.

Perhaps you share a short clip of the spot that includes your contribution and not the whole thing. Make it very clear in the write ups that your supported/contributed and not created/wrote.

By being honest? Stating what you did.

Were the spots produced? Or any of the pitch work?

Just say you were part of the team that won the business. Advertising is filled with charlatans and liars. Don’t sweat it too much.
