Don't really know what to say, except thank you, thank you very much indeed.

We'll miss you too.

Jay

The rest of us miss the beautiful work too.

Jay

Er, that was "...will miss the beautiful work". Not that we were missing it already. Or that it was bad. Because it was not. It was brilliant. Sorry guys, can't type anymore (goes off sobbing).

Sorry to hear it. I also recently felt the sting of a job not going my way, and was going to bring it up as a question in a recent post.

So, does the 'embrace failure' lesson apply here?

neil

Embrace failure? I'm not sure. It's not as if we aimed too high and fell short. We were victims of circumstance rather than failures. That's the way it goes.

Luis Vazquez

Right... I re-read the post. Good to see the honesty behind how it feels.

primoz

Sorry to hear that. I'll miss your Yakult creative work, which I find it represents the no-nonsense, straight-forward and kind of quirky approach to advertising of you guys.

Heh, you win some, you lose some.

Everytime I saw Yakult ads on German TV I thought "Why can't they do ads like WK London and Yakult UK?". Witty, charmin, brilliant (especially the Spooberry TVC). But evidently there are people who don't really care about if it's a good decision to separate the right people from the right people. Sad. But true. Obviously.

MarcusBrown

if it's going to the people who do the nonsense we have in Germany it will hurt even more. Believe me. It's appalling. Paul, it is appalling isn't it.

fair enough that they want to reduce the number of agencies across europe. but why sack the one agency that produced their most brilliant work in years? sorry for the pun but this one is hard to swallow...

Germany? The ja Kult?

understand negative, be aware of false positives.

Northern Planner

That sucks. Big is by no means better

Hendo

Incredible honesty in your entry. Damn right brilliant approach, both to your work on Yakult and the demise of it's business opportunity...

Sorry spooberrys.

Respect.

At least this post reminds of just why we like W+K so much.

I voted this among my top 5 ads of the year too, shame. I'll feel a tinge of sadness as I sip my little bottle tomorrow...

ah well, perhaps it's time to start looking in the job section of the local news paper. As one door slams in your face another door opens. Jump before you are pushed, that's my advice, it looks better on your cv and leaves less scares on the the psyche.
