I think there is a time and place for them. I always want to see someones best work, and their presentation/sell of it. Seeing the final product is a refreshing look on the practicality of the vision as well as seeing the hurdles that were conquered in completing the project. Someone that has all pitch work in their folio, only has pitch experience. Working with clients is 90% of the job.
Though, I wouldn't have this be the focal point of your portfolio, but instead a fraction of it. I'd refer to it as an "real world" type presentation, which could work very well during an interview. Not without you present. It's always a good idea to give the agency/team credit too, cause a project will involve multiple individuals with incredible talent.
The process of getting there is critical though, so well worth showing.
- Hard though, I wouldn't associate or tarnish your first impression to a client/agency with "before" work. Claim your own.nthkl
