    I recently had something like this take place.

    Basically it played out as follows:
    1) Client invites my agency to pitch on a project
    2) Agency signs an NDA (I do NOT, personally, I wasn't asked to)
    3) I create a concept with artwork I thought was killer
    4) Presentation goes well, but we don't win the pitch
    5) I still want to show the stuff on my portfolio
    6) I ask client for permission, directly via email
    7) Client agrees, with the caveat that I mention it was for a pitch, and purely conceptional at that point*

    *His logic was that the pitch cycle is over, and the project was awarded, so it's not like there's any competition going on now between agencies for the gig.

    In any case, the moral of the story is: ask for permission outright. The worse that can be said is 'no', and it's better than sneaking around.

    • < Word, it should work as long as you mention it was for a pitchMaaku
    • Also, I have the client's permission in an email, so if ever the agency gives me shit, I throw that email at them and tell them to get bent.Continuity
    • ... to get fucked.Continuity
