FOR AGENCIES AND STUDIOS
The work you pitched and lost is worth as much as the work you won
Pitch decks, strategy documents, creative rounds, client feedback and the internal debate about which direction to take. An agency's archive is a decade of documented creative judgement.
WHAT ABOUT CLIENT WORK
The contracts question, answered before anything moves
-
01
Scope is set first
Six questions establish what exists. Nothing is shared and no system is touched at this point.
-
02
Your obligations set the boundary
Work you are not free to license stays out of scope. That boundary is agreed before anything is signed.
-
03
Anonymized in preparation
Identifying fields, including client identities, are stripped as part of preparing the data.
-
04
Paid on completion
Typically $100K to $2M, Net 30 to 60, once the data has been approved, shared, and anonymized.
THE TRACK RECORD
The companies behind the firm
“Built Simplicity Solar to $35M in three years and sold it, running it on systems he designed himself.”
“AO Swag and Roofer.com, built and run alongside each other, with $21M raised across the two.”
THE CLIENT-WORK QUESTION
What agency principals ask first
Most of our work belongs to clients. Does that kill it?
Not usually. Ownership of a deliverable and ownership of your own internal process are different things. Scope is built around what you are free to license.
What about our clients' brand names?
Identifying fields are stripped as part of preparing the data, before anything is shared onward.
Do losing pitches really have value?
Often more than winning ones. A rejected direction with the reasoning attached shows judgement being exercised, which is the scarce part.
What does it cost us to find out?
Nothing. There is no fee and no commission. We are the buyer, not your representative.
SPEAK WITH A MANAGING PARTNER
Put a number on a decade of creative judgement
Six questions and a short conversation will tell you whether there is a deal here. Nothing you tell us leaves Polyshares.
