Another excerpt from Pencils Equal Profits:

Award Travel

Sending staff to the AWARD ceremony, whilst seemingly expensive, is spare change compared to a European junket to Cannes (see opposite). Not to mention that as a general rule, the further your creatives travel the more likely they are to defect.

Award Night

Hire a bus for your staff, to save on cabcharges. Or organise a ‘walk to AWARD for charity’ event. Schedule client meetings for 4am the following morning. In saving here, it’s the little things that count.

Did You Know?

The most expensive cab charge expense claimed in recent advertising history was by Sukh Odval, a junior creative who took a cab from Cannes back to his home town in Mongolia on an award ceremony night. It cost the agency 178,000,000 tugrik, or roughly 100,000 Euro. During the jounrey, he vomited in the cab 37 times, which incurred additional cleaning costs.
