Do you work at Havas Chicago? 😂
IMO the biggest waste of time (and one of the reasons why pitches are lost) is the endless ruminating that happens around manifestos.
If you’re idea is good the manifesto writes itself.. Spend time bringing your idea to life through the work. You know. That thing the clients are actually buying.
Sorry you have to work for whoever that is.
