The kind of attitude Believer has, celebrating the retention of a small part of the account, is the sort of laurel-resting that got GSD&M in trouble in the first place. Editor's note: Sorry.

Quit trying to sugar-coat things. GSD&M still works on some creative for a small part of AT&T, but at best it's no more than 10% of what they once had. And even what they have left, they work under BBDO for that. And, surprise, surprise, nothing GSD&M submits is getting produced. All of the account people have already left for BBDO. As for the yellow pages account, you might as well brag about having the pony express or telegram business. Oh, please. Quit trying to sugar-coat things.

Roy Spence is cornspicuously absent these days. He doesn't do anything but show his face at political gatherings and put together material for a book, kinda like Pat Fallon. Anyone see a trend here? But most people in the Austin area know that GSD&M has been resting on its laurels for quite a long while. The Idea City folks had better put aside some of that hubris (they do take themselves pretty seriously down there) and actually do some work. You're not (and never were in the first place) on Madison Avenue, GSD&M, so take your lumps. GSD&M’s creative has been lacking lately, which is, methinks, the reason for the losses.

Idea City still retains the consumer products, Yellow Pages and Yellowpages.com business. Far from over my friend. Get your facts straight such as the Adweek article published earlier today. http://www.adweek.com/aw/national/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003663501 For the record, GSD&M’s Idea City did not “lose the AT&T” account.
