Why the fuck would you talk to the Agency!? You don't hand out grenades as gifts. Commissioned prints don't hang in cubes. Surely, the Agency can use your work, but you better change the name to elevator-lobby-lame-idea-poster. "Quality isn't job one..." is not going to be anywhere near Ford's Agency, but it's up on the wall of someone in the trenches at Ford. Time to start picking on agencies and brands that aren't living up to their potential. Measure your success by how many brands change agencies after your grenade attack. On how many current agencies have to come to you to buy prints because their client loves it.
