Hello Buddy!

THE BIG GIST
Don Jazzy’s Brand Offered ₦100K for All This Work?
Saw this on Twitter X between a creative and DonJazzy’s people!
Apparently, this guy posted a sample animation he created for Jazzy Burger, and they reached out to him👇
100,000. For all that work?
This is a perfect example of how brands, even big, respected ones, often lowball creatives.
Sometimes, I read some briefs and just laugh.
Because how does the work expectation even match the pay?
But I digress, what do you think?
