But after reading many of the comments and Zappos' response, it became clear that the matter was not about creativity, but rather about being able to follow basic directions. Ignited had failed to properly submit their entry, which included two hard copies and one soft copy. Ignited only submitted their blog. @Lisa At first, I had that opinion as well.

They're talking about request for proposal (RFP) submissions being reviewed by clients. Not the actual ad/design work. And I agree with Ignited. RFP submissions should be looked at thoroughly by clients because it shows the thinking/process of what an agency will bring to the table. Pretty clever to track what the Zappos client actually bothered to read. @ Mike Wilkie. They’re talking about request for proposal (RFP) submissions being reviewed by clients.

I want my clients to appreciate my hard work as much as any creative, but forcing them to look at your work for a set period of time is ridiculous. Tracking how long they spend looking even more so. It's Big Brother, no? Consumers often only glance at an ad or package design for seconds before making up their mind. 30 minutes may be enough time to win over a client, but if your ad fails to move them within a moment's time, good luck when it faces the public. If you feel your clients don't appreciate you, get new clients. That’s absurd.
