Your position on spec creative really made me think. It is very difficult (I have been there far too many times) for teammates to manage projects when asked to constantly drop client work to accommodate non-client work. I understand this may be part of agency life, but when we evaluate the dollars, manpower/womanpower and accuracy (as you outlined above) I find it hard to justify. However, as a self-proclaimed stress addict, I can see where some might argue the latter if agency cost and consistency is not factored. Happy New Year! Great post Jon.
