We need another award show like we need another email newsletter from MediaPost. Oh wait. Sorry. We used that one already. But wait. Read further. Maybe we do need another award show because the really good stuff…the stuff that should win awards but always gets killed by the client…needs its own platform on which to seek praise.

Enter The Speckies. Yup. An award show for great work that got killed, canceled, spat on, trashed and otherwise suffered the indignity of pompous, know-it-all clients who crapped on it just to feed their ego-driven power trip. So here’s your chance to slap down those pontificating morons and show the industry your true, unfiltered talent. Or something like that.

There’s a specific kind of person who celebrates their dog’s birthday with real cake and real presents and real tears when the dog doesn’t understand any of it. That person isn’t performing love for the dog. They’re finally giving themselves permission to celebrate without anyone judging whether the occasion is important enough.
