Washington DC agency This January has introduced a summer distraction from the political goings on in the US. “Agencyland” is a Monopoly-inspired board game that takes you through the ups and downs of agency life, complete with cut-throat pitches, non-paying clients and creative glory.
Players can win and lose business, hire and fire staff, enter awards, win a Lion, or just get bogged down by quarterly reviews and feedback. Whether you get lost on Awards Alley, Layoff Lane, or Pitch Parkway, there’s never a dull moment.
Some squares will make your heart sink: “Late payment alert”, “The auto account is now in review” and “You’re on the short list! Pay $1000 to travel to the awards show.” The pressure might trigger some kind of PTSD for advertising employees who find this in their Christmas stocking.
