Step up to the pitch.

When a new business pitch is announced most creative people run like rats from a burning ship.  Pitches burn weekends and a lot of midnight oil.

What most creative people forget is that they will be drafted to work on the pitch anyway.  So, you’d be smart to be first in line to volunteer.  It will make you look like a trooper, a team player.  And the agency might just win the business, and then you’ll be front and center for the good stuff.

Hey, the bullet is headed for you anyway.  Step up and catch it.
