john st. probably had the same problem Grip did: clients who only buy mediocre, prescribed work then blame the agency when the mediocre, prescribed work the clients forced the agency to make didn’t perform then blamed the agency.

If there’s an RFP, agency leads be warned:

The revenue they’ll bring in isn’t worth the burnout and departure of your (best) employees. Just don’t do it.

There were such high hopes when you won it. Such brand building potential. Hope the agency can restructure easily around the change.

A client could threaten to murder every person at the agency and WPP would offer to reduce fees to keep them.

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included). It felt like a little while ago agencies were begging to hire new talent, and most couldn’t find new people. Is it really that hard to get a job at an agency? Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.

Been in the strat game for over a decade; I’ve realized that a strong department with clear process that is built on end to end problem solving (with time to think) is when I’m happiest vs this award show / case study grind. What are some agencies you all work or have worked at, that value strategy as a department and not a creative case study farm? Looking to figure out what’s next.
