Was Episode 4 called "Embarrassing"?
- BonSeff0
you missed an episode before the subway one came on. and consequently weren't able to witness the most douchey creative director ever. And his boss trying to spin their high turnover rate and rationalizing how they are not a sweatshop, even though in the next breath they talked shit about their other CD sneaking off for a couple hours after dark to see his kids who he hadn't seen in 5 days.

Last night's episode was brilliant. This is the best new show on television. Holy shit these guys are absolute fucking wankers.
Client: We want a viral video
agency: WE'LL MAKE THE BEST VIRAL EVAR
Client: Brilliant!

was pretty blown away by how the client suggested a redesign and neither agency bothered, save for the suggestion that they use a clear bottle, as if they hadn't already considered that.

looks like the shithead cd is not on the roster but the nice cd who cares about his family is still there, haha

They should have lightened the color, slimmed it down some, and frosted it. Lost the big blurby label and just had the red F embossed/engraved on the upper part with 'frangelico' underneath.
That would have bridged the past/future problem that they were so desperately and lumberingly trying to solve. You don't need seas of brown to promote the hazelnuttiness of it. It could sit very nicely on t he shelf next to premium frosted vodkas; it'll sink unless they carry out my idea.

Is anyone watching this episode tonight for 1800 Flowers?
I want to punch my eyeballs out. I've never seen a group so capable of sucking every last bit of air out of a room.

wtf was that?

I hope this show catches on and the entire advertising industry has to rebrand itself.

The bottle in its current form is a big turn off. It makes me think 70s, cheap steak house / German eatery with big red leather booths lots of brown wood, big paper menus, dim lighting, and lots of grease. In other words, just like the restaurant that Mark Ratner and Stacy go to in Fast Times.

So I'm going to keep in mind that this is TV and hope there was more going on behind the scenes and they just edited this to feel like neither agency was a cohesive unit.
NY agency
The most backwards way of approaching a problem I've ever seen. The CD played that shit like Tarantino – started from the end.NC agency
1 guy is out sick and no one can step to the plate and think about strategy. Thinking creatively on strategy – that's what being an creative director / designer / media buyer / AGENCY is.- also, the NY designer was no better doing everything himself without an consulting with the remainder of the agency.tasty

I can't imagine a big agency on the show. It's really for small mom and pops and sub-par clients.

i thought it was set to air later this month?

Agencies that are desperate for some free exposure and companies that are desperate for some free PR.
As Cenk Uygur would yell, "OF COOOUUURRSE!!"

So where can I see episode 2 of the bald dude everyone hates with the vagina mouth?

I firmly believe that many of the agencies that declined to be on "The Pitch" were afraid of: failure, looking stupid and or being exposed as fraudulent creative agnecies in general. A vast majority of the largest and best known agencies produce nothing more than "smoke and mirrors" in my option.
- nicely summed up, fear of being exposed for not being as effective as one might thinkattentionspan
