They could use some comic relief too after missing out on National Bank.
What a fuck up that was. It was theirs for the taking. My prediction – heads will roll for that one.
The National Bank has been on DDB’s sights for a couple of years. Before that it was ANZ. And they turned down Westpac just a few weeks back.
All up – a complete cock up. Would have loved to hear the conversation to the head of DDB Asia/Pac.
I guess that leaves ASB and KiwiBank.
I’m thinking that DDB didn’t have the bank experience to call upon – other than the people in Rapp, and they’d be locked in to doing the ANZ stuff.
Ahh well, it just goes to show that you may be able to do the awards, but it means nothing when it comes to winning the stuff that really pays.

Ha. Nice.

Yup.
Red faces all round on that one. All that effort they put into locking up the biscuits and winning awards has got them nowhere.
Does DDB still lock up the biscuits? It’s like the ghost of past management still haunts the place.
What went wrong and who went wrong? I must know!
Yes, c’mon.
Someone tell. Heard it was like Dad’s Army over at Greys Ave.

I don’t know. Why don’t you tell us. Fucker.
Someone at DDB needs to read Perfect Pitch.
