Walmart big pitch meeting in Tx.
An agency pitch team drove from nyc to tx in an RV camper, only staying in Walmart parking lots, eating food from Walmart and wearing using Walmart clothes etc. they filmed it documentary style and edited along way to deliver a polished film of it when they arrived at meeting. Or something like that it’s been a while and I was only peripheral

I was at an agency that was pitching Volkswagen. They took apart a vintage VW bug, elevatored the pieces up to their 11 story office, and rebuilt in the lobby. They didn’t win, but should have.

In Brazil, they built a burger king in the agency and served the clients whoppers. Another one, they flew to Chile where the car they were pitching was available and drove it all the way back to Sao Paulo, arriving at pitch presentation in the cars

I was at Mediacom and helped win the Anheuser-Busch Inbev account.

We held our pitch meeting at a bar, with the entire team involved in the pitch downstairs having a drink to cheer the client as they walked out.

I pitched a large book seller and we lined the boardroom with shelving and books and brought in lounge chairs and coffee tables. Was pretty cool.

I’ve seen drummers, marching bands, that sort of thing.
