Easy to blame junior suits and housewives from Slough but I think a weak CD is just as much to blame. An intern came up with a real crap TV idea for a pitch once. All the writers/art directors thought was crap but we didn't want to be the bad guy. So we let intern present to CD. What do you know, CD loved the idea. We actually won the pitch on that idea. Guess take from that was, "if you think it's crap, say so, or end up with crap all over". “Success has many parents. failure is an orphan,” someone once said, John W.

If it's Webster, Saatchi, or Lowe, then no. If it's planners and groups of housewives in Slough, or layers of junior clients, then yes. Like everything John, it depends who’s doing the filtering.
