Vent time:
Two weeks ago I was involved in one of the biggest pitch opportunities of my career.It was a battle between ours and one another agency.
Our team spent a shit ton of time and energy on this masterpiece and then we absolutely killed it during the pitch.
We were supposed to get the yay or nay last week, but heard nothing. Uncertainty began to sink in.
Later in the week, we ran into the guy to whom we pitched while we were on campus for another project. He pulled a masterful pokerface as we peppered him for a sign.
Just got the call this morning that the entire budget for this campaign was cut. So no campaign. We don't win it and neither does our competitor. Total bummer.
Bothers me that we did all this spec work and spent all this time for something that will never happen and that the client may have already known that.
I guess the good news is we impressed the right people and maybe something else will come out of this.
- i went through this for several years of my career. until i went in-house.dirtydesign
- in house is sooooo boring tho....pango
- yep - inhouse was way more boring than agency, working on 1 brand week in week out is soul destroying esp is a weak brand.fadein11
