I was into the zAMbie idea. Too bad.
good show, btw. I was worried it might be like that Donald Trump show.

what a crap

ah, i thought that was just a preview

I think it was a preview, like a pilot. I think the season kicks off in a few weeks. It was a full hour show tho.

I was totally expecting that this was a teaser and we wouldn't find out who won until the actual premier.
Seems like a compelling show; far more interesting than Jersey Shore. I majored in Advertising and I'm glad as shit I don't work in that industry. That show only helped reinforce that.

Watched the first half but ended up falling asleep. Seemed like a pretty good show though.

Oh, and I was all for the Zambies idea. It was annoying but totally stuck in my head in an instant.

Looks interesting. Glad I'm not in advertising. I never developed an appetite for pitching.

WAS BAD.
Basically The Apprentice episodes when they do advertising challenges.I'm afraid that the public will begin to think that advertising is THIS.
Shame on the agencies who volunteered.

ha the agency im at turned down the chance to be on this show

didn't watch it, heard it was just an hour long ad for subway.

just checked it out on my lunchbreak and I thought it summed up the game pretty well. The zambie idea was kinda original, even if playing on amc on the coat tails of walking dead, but the other agency's original idea was basically exploiting the rapper's original idea. yea.. pretty depressing.

I once worked in a small creative agency where there was a little sign that said "SAUSAGE FACTORY" just above the door to the creative department...
yes, we did some pitches...
... some things are best left unfilmed...
and... almost all our best clients didn't come from pitch-fests, but rather from personal interaction and showing our previous work....

Its sad to see shows such as Mad Men and The Pitch.
Hopefully this wont inspire people to get in to advertising.

I felt like that one girl from McKinny needs to work on her idea selling, it's not that they are bad ideas – she just doesn't do well at presenting them.
zAMbies was good, but I think if they ditched the AM and just called them Breakfast Zombies and featured actual zombies in some of the print work they were mocking up – they may have stood a chance.
I'll probably tune in to this show for a little, it's nice to see how other agencies work. Especially since I just moved on from an advertising environment.
- "actual zombies" - meaning lifeless breakfast seekers.tasty
