I must have missed something. I always thought Telecom was a Saatchi client, but obviously not.
I call an all-of-business Telecom pitch this year, probably after the new network is launched in June. (Unless Reynolds feels like making the biggest balls call of 09 and binning the apparently so-so launch material and taking it to market.)
Take your ski holidays early, peoples.
They are a client of RAPP too
Thought that too, but it seems Telecom is everyone who doesn’t work for Vodafone’s client!
Hello dimwits, just thought I’d let you know that on the board at Telecom these days is a bloke by the name of Kevin Roberts.
Chances of Saatchis losing Telecom account, let alone conducting a review = zero.
Ah, THAT would be why they don’t bother doing any good work for them. It all comes clear!
Clear. THey did great ads
Funny how you can make a comment about Saatchi on here but not DDB. Obviously Mike doesn’t have the same clout.
While we’re on the subject of which client belongs to which direct agency, Aim Proximity still has Westpac as a client on its website. ??? I could have sworn Westpac fired them sometime last year and moved to Saatch.
Aim’s still doing some work for ’em
I don’t care what Nick’s mum say. He is a good looking guy… in an ff beat kooky kind of way.
Isn’t KR being on the board a massive conflict of interest? bless….this only washes in wee old NZ.
When are they going to take Greg F off their website?
If they took that guy off, there’d be no one left.
People disappear off it.
*Poof!* And they’re gone.
