It’s a lovely spring day, the sun’s shining, you’re young, you’re a student team , you’ve got a placement at a big agency, the birds are chirping and
THEN SOMEONE WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER STEALS YOUR IDEA AND CLAIMS IT’S THEIRS, and then you get another placement at a bigger agency, the grass is green, the water’s warm etc.
Things can turn on you really quickly…

shut up and get back to work.
What ever Karl.
Hmmm, let me guess, does the creative in question work at mojo? He’s always doing that. You’re not the first, or the last..
Is that you, Nick?
And exactly ‘how’ did they steal your idea, little one?
For me, it was all explained in the sentence “someone steals your idea and claims it as theirs” but I may be missing something, Kat.
I think she was meaning it might’ve been a case of coincidence or maybe they progressed your idea more.
Shut up and get back to work! (And make sure it’s bloody good so we can steal it off you)
I have no idea what the fuck any of this is about.
Oh right, so you take someone’s idea, push a few things around and voila. It’s yours.
or make it worse in some cases
God was on placement?
FYI, the original post was not written by one of the aggrieved placement team.
Yeah I heard they still want to run the ad for a Client that’s not even theirs in the first place. Heard Karl wasn’t even going to credit them until some one hit him up about it. This would add to the already growing list of Karl copies. You could play where’s the idea he didn’t “borrow”
Ouch.
I’m out of the loop on this whole thing but by reading this tread I’ve put together the following; That there are a whole lot of people bagging on Karl Fleet in reference for a Coastguard service ad that he allegedly pinched by a placement team who was at Mojo and now at Saatchis. Howzat? This is like Cluedo.This industry is very small.
So it was Colonel Fleet in the library with the photocopier?
Lets have a pool on what’s the next ad he’ll “reproduce”
Hi guys, I notice this thread is getting rather nasty. Maybe i could post a twenty thousand word essay about my axis students to lighten the tone.
Remember me David? I’m the red wine stain from Axis last year that was on your white shirt.
Is that you Paul?
This guy ‘anonymous’ spends alot of time on here. Interesting name too.. is it Greek?
Nasty? Truth hurts more like itAnonymous is a wog
