Comments on: A Slow Death For DDB? http://agencyspy.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/a-slow-death-for-ddb/ lurking around the watercooler Wed, 08 Oct 2008 18:15:56 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Lance Gleason http://agencyspy.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/a-slow-death-for-ddb/#comment-7464 Lance Gleason Thu, 06 Dec 2007 22:43:26 +0000 http://agencyspy.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/a-slow-death-for-ddb/#comment-7464 Kevin, you are wrong about Dell and BBDO Atlanta. They lost that account back in July. The announcement said it was because BBDO won the Best Buy account and that Dell felt this was a conflict of interest. Inside accounts however seemed to indicate that it had more to do with a really bad interactive pitch, and the fact that they really don't have the kind of capability for a client like Dell.

State Farm has not been happy with the work lately. They are groping their way to find a tone to compete with the likes of Geico, but continue to do same old format spots. Korzenowski's firing is a political move to "improve" the creative. Besides, Korzenowski was universally hated internally. Not a good creative at all. With Seibert as interim ECD, that may not do it either. He was the ECD for Miracle Whip and why the agency lost the business. FCB is rumored to be wooing State Farm. They already do direct ads for them. Dell business to business is out the door. Dell is happy with BBDO Atlanta. Frankly their work is far superior to old DDB work. The AE is Kissel not Kessler.
