Our swingometer this week revealed a degree of industry scepticism about
Tim Mellors’ chances of invigorating Grey’s creative output. The
agency’s multi-national clients will, according to 56 per cent, hinder
his progress.
However, there was good news for Grey in the second question, about its
new client, Sporting Life. There is room in the marketplace for a daily
sports title, said 58 per cent of voters
The same majority also agreed with the views of BMP DDB’s chief
executive, Chris Powell, that political ads did not win elections.
