Intel Goes Up For Review, But Not The Creative Part. Why Oh Why?
January 16, 2008
Thanks heavens Intel put its account up for review. We wish it included creative duties, since it’s a McCann account and before you say we are biased (which we are), we ask you to remember the print ad below. Remember that debacle?
Sadly, it’s just the media portion of the account. McCann will defend. They will lose. Contenders are: Aegis Group’s Carat; Omnicom Group’s OMD; Publicis Groupe’s Starcom and WPP Group’s Mediaedge:cia. McCann is part of Interpublic. Oh look! All the big boys are represented.

Hey Sexy Spy…
It’s just a matter of time. McCann is rapidly becoming the world’s worst agency… OK, they have a ways to go before catching up with Draft/FCB… But before the year is out, both Intel and Microsoft, in their entirety, will be gone… I know the clients, I know the agency… It’s fucked. They fell into the trap that all BDA’s do… They give the client what they want, instead of what they need… It work’s for a while, then the client wakes up and says… What the fuck do I need these clowns for. OK, end of sermon… How the hell are you? Recovered? You have to cut it down to three bottles a day.

The CD of that atrocious ad was Tom Bagot.

actually the CD of that atrocious ad was Bill Oberlander. A true talentless hack preening in his Prada and glassy eyed with his PRozac and Opus One cocktails.

Oh and Jack, Razorfish got the pc.com assignment not intel.com and guess what, Intel hates them too. Intel is a truly horrific client.
But I will agree w you, McCann under joyce has gotten worse.
