There can be few accounts in adland that have such a ridiculously high churn of senior suit talent. It’s ridiculous. Welcome to the meat grinder Georgia and Alex.
And the chief butcher remains at the head of the account. Until Clems get someone who understands creativity to drive NAB then the blame game and revolving doors will continue.
Take heed from those that came before you.
That agency, that account… good luck….
..and yet the clients are so nice
I imagine these two are reading these comments and thinking, ‘surely it won’t be as bad as all that….’
Spoiler alert – it’s worse. Have fun!
