    Notes aren't cuting it for me, so I'll explain it to you another way.

    Agency CD: 'We need a new copywriter with automotive experience.'

    Agency HR monkey: 'Oh! Hey, here's this candidate, says he's worked for ... uh ... (looks on the About Me page and scans the logo grid/brand board) BMW, Škoda and Opel. Oh, and he's got reels for BMW and Škoda.'

    Agency CD: 'Cool! Invite him for an interview!'

    It's just another at-a-glance tool to get you noticed on the stack of dozens of other CVs and portfolios. Nothing about borrowing creditibility or bending the truth or anything like this.
