Pros
Fun/flashy clients and campaigns. Lots of exposure to top talent because of this. Many are eager to work with you. Lots of entertainment touchpoints and integration access Big accounts/big budgets In the "scene"
Cons
Spirits clients are very demanding and SP will do anything to please them (to a fault). Don't expect any loyalty, even if you're doing a great job unless you're one of the agency favorites. 4 top sp agency spirit leads will often switch gears and pander to the clients, sometimes absurd, requests even if it's not what they think is right or our professional opinion, as a way of working. Clients are rude and constantly say crazy things and we were told to deal with it basically. --In a staff meeting once, an agency exec showed the clip in The Devil Wears Prada where Anne Hathaway gets the unreleased Harry Potter books to Meryl Streep's twins ahead of the release to them in time for their vacation, as a way of saying overservice clients to no end, no matter what or how they treat us. I was FLOORED.
