These ideas are all one off scams other than DDB’s stuff which is quite boring.
Awards are dead and buried.
At the end of the day awards are things big agencies buy.
Everyone else might have a one off scam brown noser from DDB, but Crime & Investigation is probably the only DDB stuff that ISN’T scam. The Break Up. Money in a bag. Pillowcases. PUHLEASE! Everyone knows what it is. Scam, scam, scam..
Anyone else noticed how the world hasn’t stopped tuning with Mike O’Talbot-Worthington-Blood out of town?
