Never before in the history of communications business has such fierce, deadly competition exploded on ‘Adscape’! Man, it’s a war out there with agencies pulling out all stops to get a piece of the action (read: business/accounts/billing) in their determined agenda to storm ahead!

Time, talent, energy and big bucks are invested into making pitches for clients frequently with a ‘no obligation tag’ from the client side, which basically means that the moolah spent on the pitch will ‘not be’ reimbursed (partly or fully) by the powers-that-are.

In recent times there has been a lot of talk about it not being fair; about how there should least be a rejection fee for pitches; some reimbursement or compensation...
