re… Mako

Susi tells me that, having cleared shelf space for all the awards you are going to win for Mako, you are de-stressing at the Groucho. Whilst you unwind after your triumph, you should know that my team and I are not happy. I don’t see our client buying into Reeves and Mortimer any more than they did Little and Large. We’re disappointed that you’ve taken the rest of the department off the brief.

I would love to debate this with you, but as you are not here I’ve taken the liberty of talking to Pinki and Liam. I’ve asked them to carry on working on the project. Pinki believes in Mako. Its low emissions make it the sort of car she’d drive herself, if only she could drive. Liam believes in it because of the 0–60 figures, brightly coloured rear spoiler and beverage holder on the dashboard.

This commitment on their part will lead, I hope, to a very strong idea.

Before you blow a fuse, David is aware of all this. Whilst he still likes your work, he is never averse to covering all the bases and presenting more than one route. He is happy for Pinki and Liam to continue.

I have asked Susi to set up a review for late tomorrow. Given the fix we’re in, I think we should all be there.

I’m sure you will make your thoughts on this clear to me upon your return.
