I wanted to see if anyone has had problems with work being in their portfolio and Clients or Agencies asking them to remove the work. With the agency I work at now I know they like for me to include that it was part of their campaign in the description.
Anyone have some clever ways of displaying this? Right now I just add a note *This projects was part of a campaign created by Agency Name."

Always problems with this

depends on the agency really. some are more sticklers than others. I would say that statement should be fine since you are stating the agency name.

i have problems with this since most of my work is agency work. they have asked me to remove work but only when the client contacts them and has an issue with it. they're pretty understanding with my need to display work in my personal portfolio.

Yeah. Honest credit should always be the way forward.

just state your role in the project and there's no problem, if you just post a project you had a small role in and dont mention your role, the user will assume you did it all which is wrong.

State your role within the project and state the name of the agency and any other studios involved producing the work.
Be honest and straightforward, and no one will have a problem with you putting the work in your portfolio.
The only exception to this is if you were hired to be a "ghost" designer/writer/creative/etc. But there will be a NDA-type contract prior to engagement and is very rare.

and halfempty, there is no "clever way".

Role: Art Director
Agency: fill in the blankand I make the agency name a link that goes to the agency website. that way the agency is getting free traffic and potential clients/employers see the rad agency you have worked for. also shows you respect the agency and their right for credit which says a lot about your professionalism and that you have a good relationship with past employers.
