Steak n Shake sues advertising agency – wants to hire JWT now
April 11, 2009
The Indianapolis Business Journal has one hell of a story regarding just how bad clients can get.
Varnson the advertising agency in question, has filed a counterclaim accuses Steak n Shake of dealing in the definition of bad faith by floating out feelers to J. Walter Thompson, Empower Media, Zimmerman and ID Media.
So evidently contracts can be tossed out and forcing the advertising agency staffers to almost live in Steak n Shake’s HQ is part of the normal practice.
Sources within the local ad industry said Steak n Shake officials insisted Varnson Group employees work out of Steak n Shake’s local headquarters to keep a close eye on them.
WTF! Enjoy… I heard Enfatico has a bunch of open space that JWT can borrow for this new client.
