Says the person that just made 10(!) comments in a row? Bonus, you are making personal allegations based on an opinion we all have a right to express.

Your perspective is welcome, but can you try to make them less about others and more about your own independent thoughts?

Thank you,
An interested reader.

I've read all the comments down to here, and yours sheds a realistic light on what probably did happen. Thank you for the clarity, perspective and maturity.

Chiat got rid of the PR dept years ago! Didn't see the profit in it.

No, I am not even really defending Chiat.
I am just pointing out the bias of the very frequent commenter here. I only reply to a small percentage of his posts. I wish he had the integrity to only use one user name (as I do). Then maybe your post would be, "Ok _____, we get it, you hate Chiat." But mostly I wish he had enough faith his agency to not feel the need to create negative buzz around others.

Huh? — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:23:22 -0000

I'm thinking elle_o is the disgruntled employee who's trying to make Chiat seem desperate and clueless.

No one is this stupid on purpose.

No.

Jesus, Elle_o, we get it. You work for Chiat. Probably as a starry-eyed intern in their PR department. We know it's your job to defend them.

But stop. Just stop.

You're not changing anyone's mind and you're not changing the fact that senior people are streaming out of that place in record short timeframes. We know there are huge problems there. You won't convince anyone here otherwise.

Happens to be true.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

@elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:25:56 -0000

You are virtually the ONLY person to defend Chiat and you claim to not work at Chiat. That would not pass the smell test to any jury.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:13:42 -0000

I do not reply to every negative post about Chiat. And I do not work for Chiat. And I do not make personal attacks.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

@elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:08:44 -0000

You reply to every comment critical of Chiat. You are a sad sack. Or you work at Chiat. One in the same.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:57:05 -0000

All I do is occasionally reply to your comments. So yes, that has caused me to post a lot.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

@elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:23:27 -0000

Not as much as you. Jesus.

i've heard activision is a terrible client and i'm sure they approved all the way down the ine then yanked it. this is one of the oldest scenarios in the book.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

gtovrit — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:08:18 -0000

i agree.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:03:34 -0000

I'm saying you are very active on this blog. Obsessively so.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

@elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:49:53 -0000

If you believe that the negative press, negative blog comments, senior staff defections, client problems on Pepsi, Gatorade, Uncle Ben's, and now Activision are the result of one person, then there is really no real response I can offer to you. You are simply delusional.

elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:38:55 -0000

These are your opinions, and I'm just pointing out that the frequency with which you post your opinions, and the hatred you express for Chiat are not those of a casual observer. You have either been rejected by Chiat, or you work for another agency which you hope will benefit from bad buzz around Chiat.

By the way, how do you keep changing your sign in so quickly?

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

@elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:25:12 -0000

So all the people leaving Chiat, Activision pulling a project mid- production, and the agency's downward creative spiral is the result of one person on a "mission?!"

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:17:02 -0000

I don't wonder about that at all. You are clearly on a mission. And putting Crispin in the same league as Goodby and Weiden is a joke.

Scout — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:58:06 -0000

Gotta wonder why Chiat is so hated. You don't see this level of consternation coming out of other agencies. Even the hot shops like Cripsin, Weiden, Goodby don't have this problem. Not that Chiat is anywhere near them on a creative level. But there seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the day to day operations of TBWA/C/D.

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

@elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:40:10 -0000

You forgot that Chiat is the most hated company by current video game clients as well

Re: TBWA's Modern Warfare 2 Campaign May Have Been too Racy - mediabistro.com: AgencySpy

elle_o — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:20:17 -0000

And Chiat is for sure the most hated company by those who were fired from Chiat, those who could not get a job at Chiat, and those who work at competing agencies that try to improve their own agencies buzz by bashing Chiat.

Jimmy — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:56:31 -0000

My vote goes to Chiat for the most hated company by current and ex-employees. Way to go...

THAT'S funny. Thanks. This thread could use some levity.
