How come bbdo jeep in shortlisted again at cannes? Trying to cheat the jury for a second year?

I heard they are working on a second batch. Maybe those ads are the ones that won?

It's Proximity's loss. She's really good - and a proponent of real work. I'm glad she's now the ECD of Rapp Collins (and Tribal DDB as well?)

Maybe some real work will win this time. I don't know about you guys, but it is kinda tiring that scams win all the time.

I see Jennifer's face in the papers all the time. Her megawatt smile and award wins are bound to reassure her current clientele.

Can someone confirm if there has been a retrenchment there?
From what I have heard, everyone has a pay cut but 3 from creative dept have been given 'notices', possibly Yap and Richard. It seems that they have to serve 3 more months?

Is he? I hope not!

The last time the campaign was submitted as poster. This time as press. What's wrong with that?

Oh well! As long as there isn't anyone retrenched.

From what I heard besides the 3 victims who were retrenched, ONLY the Creative Dept experienced a pay-cut. And almost always, in any agency, the creatives are the workhorses who do the REAL strat planning as well as actual work. No fair. Why does the bloody Acct Mgmt always get away scot-free?

Since Florence's time, servicing teams could dictate what they wanted - even to the extent of over-riding creatives' instructions to suppliers.

The servicing teams were encouraged to play creative director, media, production, traffic and the client.

If the client complains, the creatives will get the shit.

If you asked me, these people have become client-pleasers.

Are they wrong? In times like these, they won't get affected much. The agency cannot do away with client-pleasers can they?

So the creatives get retrenched lah!

all should kena pay cut. overbearing client-pleasers' salaries must kena cut oso. wat? u want them to squeeze the management's balls later on ah? pander to their whims some morelah. they grow too powerful and take your clients away when they leave.

tak sihatlah, satu dept holding all the power. force the creatives to see the clients. kam cheng sikit. the one who benefit will be you later on.

cut their pay more lah. they made the decisions that cause this kind of crisis kan?

they 'led' things to this state no?
weak ones blame economy. juz ask urselves lah,
how come times so bad and there are agencies still raking it in ah?

lots of people half baked in malaysia.
aren't orang advertising must make their clients' businesses profitable?

how come own agency teruk pulak? how to trust people
like this?

Will it even work?

it's about whoever got vision and solutions!
who cares kalau orang tu datang from human resource dept kan?

By this I don't mean creatives from creative dept per se.
Some strat directors are creative problem solvers.
They could lead, no?

If a finance director can be creative in making and saving money, shouldn't he or she lead to? If the person got vision?

high EQ or IQ won't cut it with me if there isn't any result to show for it!

fuck the suits at milk. they were led by a power crazy 'si panjang'.
