Hadrian’s Wall Helps Save Agency.com With Pitch Game

MgnctPitchAwards72.jpg

Hmm. It seems Agency.com might have been better off using this Super Pitch game created by Hadrian’s Wall for their client Magnecote. The game takes all the work out of creating a super-hip YouTube video and boils the whole thing down to a few clicks. The object of the game is to win the advertising account of one of three fictional clients; rafts magazine CozyNook, cardboard box manufacturer Blumsfeld Floomer or “nihilist, anti-fashion” brand Überboff. Witty commentary and industry insiderism accompany the game.

Players choose a team from eight agency types, including planner “The Brit,” creative director “40 Going On 16,” and president “Linda From New York.” The team builds their presentation using tools organized into six categories. Then the player conducts the pitch. Nodding or frowning clients offer a progress report. A final score either wins the new business, or doesn’t. We say give this one a whirl and see if you all can come up with a better pitch than Agency.com did.

There’s a specific kind of exhaustion that only people who eat lunch with colleagues out of obligation understand. It’s not tiredness from conversation. It’s tiredness from translating yourself into a version that fits a table you never chose to sit at.

Nobody tells you that pain doesn’t just change what you feel. It changes what you notice. After real loss, you start seeing grief in strangers’ faces at the grocery store, hearing exhaustion in your friend’s laugh, catching the micro-hesitation before someone says ‘I’m fine.’ Pain gave you a fluency you never asked for and can never unlearn
