Snark // noun - an attitude or expression of mocking irreverence and sarcasm
I love our industry, but it also drives me bat sh*t crazy sometimes.
And in that schizoid vein, I’m proud to launch AgencySnark to spark the fun of making fun of ourselves and our insane industry.

Halliday & Vine, once the greatest ad agency in New York, is now an agency on the brink. Peter Vine, their creative genius, has disappeared. Now, they've got one last chance to save themselves when they make the final round in the pitch for the largest fashion account in the world. But Drew, the new Chief Creative Officer, is going to blow it with an absolutely horrible pitch.
That's when agency peons Ryan Simmons and Rachel Weiss decide to take matters into their own hands. Their only problem? They've got no team, no budget, no research, no place to work, no way into the pitch, and to say that Ryan is fashion-challenged is an understatement.
What ensues is pure mayhem as the latest technologies, outsized egos, nasty clients, and supermodels all clash as a lovable but motley crew try to save their agency and their jobs.

AgencySnark is parody. It’s satire. It’s just enabling us to poke fun at ourselves and our crazy industry.
If I made fun of you it’s because I actually greatly respect you and hope you can take it in good fun. If not, I’ll pray for your soul and am happy to buy you a drink. If that isn’t good enough then I’ll throw in dinner at Olive Garden with its unlimited salad bar and breadsticks.
All logos and images belong to their respective owners. If I used your photo without crediting you, I apologize. Provide your information and I’ll gladly give you credit. If you prefer me to stop using it, tell me and I’ll take it down.
Please don’t sue AgencySnark LLC. I have a really good, really mean lawyer who I can’t afford and I don’t even like. The First Amendment protects satire and parody as a form of free speech and expression, including satirizing public figures.
AgencySnark is not intended for readers who cannot laugh at themselves, those who take themselves too seriously, and especially not litigious billionaires who have nothing better to do.
At this time, we do not accept outside story ideas. If you send them we will not read them. We appreciate your desire to participate and we might accept ideas in the future, but not now.
