Name one great... sorry name one good campaign he helped make at Fallon.
H&R Block. Tough client. Really nice work.
There's more too, but you just wanted one.
H&R Block is magic-
Bet JT wished he did it.
What's going on in there? Why are there so many stories of backstabbing dramas? Who has got a bone to pick with who?
...gets interviewed for the job, gets the job, then has to show his folio all over again to JT on CB Asia.
Cut the dude some slack, man, I'm sure DDB know what they are doing. Jeez.
