I'm not a creative, but pitch work that wins the business must be great and should be worth putting in your book. If you have a section for awards, have a section for pitches won. It's a skill.
Just put it in and make clear it’s pitch work. Doesn’t matter if it’s not produced. Most of the best work isn’t
I assumed that’s what you meant in the “Bonus” line.
Regardless, I think it’s odd to put pitch work in your book unless you’re junior and need show examples of your thinking. If your idea was eventually produced then it’s a different story. It’s kind of tough to put scripts/social/activation ideas in your book if they were never made. Maybe someone else has another take but that’s my 2¢.
Just bring up the pitch work in your interview
Was the work from the pitch actually produced? I rarely have seen that.
Just put it in and say that it’s pitch work. I have some in my book and almost always they are the ones that the CD wants to chat about in interviews. It seems to me that they are great for showing your creativity.
To me it's weird putting pitch work in your book
If you won it, it'll be out in the world at some point so you might as well wait for that to happen
If you didn't win it, what's the point?
I wouldn’t include pitch work in your portfolio.
Most agencies are under NDA with potential clients while pitching and you may be in the line of of some legal drama if you were to share creative concepts and or client info with another agency.
Just speak to it and expand on it vividly.
That should cover you with regard to authenticating your experience.
i just list them as a client but don’t show any work in my book. if someone asks about it you explain that you worked on the pitch
I wouldn’t worry about it. Maybe keep it towards the end of your book.
thanks everyone. it’s like a 50/50 split! but i am grateful for the feedback!
does that matter? (you’re right, it very rarely stays the same from pitch to actual product)
@acd1 it seems that most of my years work has constituted pitchwork. and thus, my book/portfolio shows no new work created - but i have won 3 of the 5 pitches i’ve worked on this year. as a freelancer, how do you express that in your book? NDAs and all that
