Do companies nominate themselves first?
Gotta hand it to Sean, he is a great businessman. If Cummins sorted out their mediocre creative product, they could be as big as Clems one day.
This is pretty impressive people.
I think they have Clems in their sights. And their creative work? Mediocre? More so than any other agency? Come on…i think they’re pretty good. Like Specsavers a lot.
Just admit it they are good. And save the schadenfreude for once.
Seriously, how does BRW choose? Is it their opinion, or do they choose from businesses that nominate themselves? Either way, well done, but I’m genuinely curious.
I mean mediocre quite literally – the work is of a medium level. It’s on the most part, OK. That’s not being nasty, just truthful. Few agencies are what I would call high level, but it is certainly worth aspiring to.
Props seemed to like the specsavers work before it even launched. So I guess we know where they work.
sean knows how to build an agency though, regardless of what you think of the work. huge respect for his business acumen.
$30m turnover sounds great but is meaningless.
Anyone who runs a business knows that.
