Capstar: Wanted

unfortunately i cannot give 0.5 stars...1 star is too much

Jebus!
This is soo lame.

Is this a joke?

Sorry, but this is very juvenile.

Could've been OK, if still unoriginal, at least a fun read. But it's another example of copy lost in translation. Ick.

deleted. Thought it was a scam. Turns out it's an agency from an award-winning country that makes original work fantastically often, that deserves every piece of praise, and this piece fully fits into the level of opinion I have for much of the output there.

Tell you what, fuck it, can't un-delete, but this is a SCAM. The agency quoted above does have Capstar as a client. But looking at the work it does for the brand, a Novartis sub-brand, it will always be Novartis-branded as the parent company.

Ivan, you guys need to take a S E R I O U S look at your submissions process. This site is taken seriously by the advertising community. You've just let some student prank come in and damage the reputation of a brand, and an agency, because you're not spending time to make sure the agency has actually submitted something. You told me earlier in the year that you can't spend time checking if people are who they say they are. And that they can fake email addresses.

Make the time. Get a Skype account, spend pennies telephoning them. Otherwise you've just highlighted a really brilliant way for disgruntled people to sabotage reputations.

Bad execution Bad Idea....:(
