They got to start showing more of the final work and less about women crying. No one is going to be invested in a person that only appears on one episode. Project runway has a long discussion about everyone's work.
RIP The Pitch.

Is it just me or does the client always pick the shittier of the two?

I think should go with the crying girl campaign

Considering that "The Pitch" is the only thing on TV that is relatable to my/ours creative field on TV, I don't think that the show it is that bad.
Just sayin'
- i do watch it every week – so you've got a point.tasty
- Yes, hand up - I like it too. They just talk about things like I do, in ways taht I do.

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.

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.

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.

Do we think there was more to the pitches?
All that effort was just for one print ad? As in, the copywriter designed it in Photoshop, it got approved by the client and it went directly to "Better Homes & Gardens"?
$50,000?
- some of that $50K goes towards the printing expenses too yes?albums

I think I'd prefer watching a long form agency show instead of these hour snippits. It would have to follow a great agency but also cover the relationships between people – I've seen people crying, working 36hr shifts and sleeping with the account department all in the name of advertising.
- Yes you would and i would, but the general population wouldnt. Maybe as a webshowattentionspan

Yes, it might be mostly inaccurate and made for TV but you know what... I bet you most bankers, accountants, IT etc. would still wish their job could be as 'exciting'
- Job excitement level is set between what you're willing to try and where your boss' patience ends.hellobotto

i loved how they brought the ad store dude back for a second attempt and then dude was like, fuckit i quit. lates.

I don't mean to be a prick, but the presentation, execution and design where God awful by Muse. Fouty himself could of designed the enter campaign better.

^ was their whole thing really just a mounted poster that looks like it came from a trade show?????????? And a foam finger? They really need to get off their "race" thing too.
Every week on this show, there's one large professional team, then the other team looks like they hired some high school kids to design their stuff.
Although some weeks, someone like a copywriter does design their "Ad" in PS.
- Fitting, as copywriters seem to think they are the creative force.i_monk

I'm still confused how some teams have 4 people, other teams have 30+, and they all work on it.
The team with 4 people always makes bad stuff, but I don't think more than 10 are necessary for any of these projects.

That work from Muse. Lol....

They should have combined the Rap and the Zambie idea... lol
I though the rap thing was a 1 trick pony type thing. not a campaign- It was. Corny white people think all rap is edgy though.randomname

I thought that the LL Cool J creative dude from Muse was passionate and driven, but could not design his way out of bad hip hop outfit. Does he even have a design degree? He makes Fouty look like a Rockstar.

^ Who says you need a design degree to work in a small advertising "agency"?
The week before, the copywriter designed the ad.
And this guy:
calls himself an art director with this crappy website:
