A Policeman’s Lot Is Not A Happy One

This one goes out to all my homies in agency new business roles.
I just want to say “I understand.”
I know about the effort you put in, and all the things you go through.
You’re there on the front line, leading pitches, brokering talent, motivating colleagues, pushing and leading.

You’re a team player in the truest sense, and yet when the business is won, the best you can hope for is a name check for pulling a few case studies together.
Just keep doing what you do.
Adapt to every situation and play every role that the pitch calls for.
Keep pushing and keep winning.
You and I know how much you do.

So let it just be our little secret.
