What makes a pitch actually work? Is it the million-dollar deck? The standing ovation? The sushi chef flown in for extra flair? In this episode, Lindsay Waugh and Sean Patrick get real about the messy, unpredictable, often-theatrical world of marketing pitches.

They’re talking big swings, big personalities, and even bigger questions—like why some of the best pitches don’t win, and why some of the worst ones somehow do. From pitch pressure to pitch prep, pitch theatre to pitch truth, this one’s for anyone who’s ever crafted a killer presentation and still walked away empty-handed.

You’ll hear hot takes on:

Why being unapologetically you in the room is the ultimate power move

When pitch theatre helps—and when it totally backfires

The real reason clients choose agencies (hint: it’s not your process slide)

What makes a pitch feel more like Survivor than strategy

Whether you’re pitching to win, pitching for fun, or just trying to survive the next RFP—this episode will hit home.
