just saw that deutsch lost pizza hut and got its taco bell scope scaled back. pizza hut seems to change agencies every year but taco bell is surprising… seemed like they were doing well.

You think client decisions about agencies are rational?

Deutsch force-feeds a lot of work to Steelhead, internally, and this is the result of giving clients a menu comprised of continuously half-baked product.

Yes President, so well informed!
As I see it, Deutsch was pretty forward thinking there- shooting food internally ( that also looks great) as now most similar agencies are struggling to capture some of that type of high level work.

They’re also both owned by Yum! Brands so no surprises here.

smart

That Taco Bell throwback spot for old menu items they brought back was probably dictated by Taco Hell. Not much to do there. Oh wait, yes there was. Cut back on the cheesy idea they shot.

Quality meats started working with Taco Bell recently. I wonder if they are taking any of this?

Biite has picked up major duty on Taco Bell. They released ads recently for TB’s crispy chicken menu. VML has been named AOR for Pizza Hut. Deutch’s involvement with TB is unclear. QM is project based.

The new crispy chicken work is terrible.

Vayner is likely way cheaper than Deutsch

QSR doesn’t need an ad agency. Everything that makes the money, is promotional and retail based. That’s all a 20-year-old with AI. The big, funny television campaign doesn’t really matter anymore. Nobody sees it. And the last year‘s worth of work of Pete Davidson, trying to be funny was painful.

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer. I haven’t filled out the updated work history background check info yet. The reason for termination was due to performance expectations not being met. Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.
