Interviews with CSO and HR went really well but unable to hire due to $. Should I drop them a potential strat deck on 1 of their main accounts to show how much I want to be part of their team/agency?

If they don’t have the money you better take your brain elsewhere. If this is an excuse because they don’t want you then you’ll be giving away work for free. As a general rule, don’t do existing client work at interviews

I think an abridged / teaser version of the work could be a good leave-behind so they know where / how to level you when budgets open back up. I wouldn’t give them everything.

thanks VP3. appreciate this!

No. No free work. Respect yourself. Stay in touch and in good terms for better opportunities later.

It’s wild to me that we are all saying No so strongly to doing free work in interviews , but literally our business/ industry is built on producing free work in pitches.

Oh hell no. Don’t give away your only valuable resource. It’s just going to make u seem more desperate and devalue you

Nope - whether it’s the truth or an excuse, don’t do it.

good idea re teaser vp3
if you’re really passionate about the agency, o.p, it could perhaps make sense to see if they can fund a small fee for you to help them pitch an account that will fund you if you win it together. but also like the other posters said “respect yourself!”

If you have time and it’s something that’s fun for you then yes. If you’re solely doing it to pray they change their minds, then nope

Does anyone else feel like now that protests have “simmered” from this summer, all the promised initiatives have fallen to the side? For example, commitment to inclusive hiring. Every new hire announcements my agency has appeared to be white and cis-gendered. So curious if anyone else sees that the promises aren’t being met or talked about anymore.
