Combine that with some dinners and good old-fashioned backscratch, and you're sure to win some accounts.

What's the option, dealing with low-life review consultants? But the work is really horrible. Go on i-tunes, pick a sappy song from the 80s, spend an hour or two cutting a rip-o-matic, and voila, you've got every spot on their reel. Can’t fault them for their new business success.

And a tagline: "Chase what matters." for you guessed it, Chase. Both suck and both are the exact same shitty formula. this agency is the new destination for big, bad clients. they just opened a branch office in chicago with two hacky creatives from leo running it. they are old school as can be. and their work is terrible. here are two examples of just how bad they are. a print healine: “Kraft your sandwich.” for you guessed it Kraft.
