Canadian agency sounds hilarious clarion call: #SayNoToSpec

Day-old Zulu Alpha Kilo’s video set to resonate with creatives around the world

How would the restaurant owner react if someone asked for a free sample of the dish, before placing an order?
 
Interactions of a protagonist (read ‘client’) like this at a coffee shop, with a photo frame-maker, a personal trainer, and an architect, are used by the film’s creators  to urge ad agencies to ‘Say no to spec’.
 
The film which went live on YouTube on 5 November, has been created by Zulu Alpha Kilo, a Canada-based agency.
