Doesnt seem like it now, but probably for the best. I would have used a curse word to illustrate this but fishes are sensitive

There‘s usually stuff in your contract that expressly prohibits you from doing that.

Counter point- depending on who the client is, what level and how long they may be in that role and who made the decision (based on what) to switch agencies. I’d probably want some new thinking at the strategy level if I switched agencies and if I were the agency I probably have some pretty strong strategy directors who helped me win the business. Ghosting ain’t right, but it ain’t personal
