They did the right thing. So many crappy agencies that were once good but now have sold their soul and produce cow patties daily.
Do work you can be proud of. Whatever that may be.
It’s easy to say you never want to compromise. But I have sympathy for those at the top whose businesses provide not just great advertising, but jobs and insurance.
It is one thing to fall on your own sword. But to demand that hundreds of families fall on it with you…
To quote the late great Phil Hartman
(a former graphic designer by the way),
“It’s not about the money. It’s about the things you can buy WITH the money.”
