I am a bit confused this evening. I was contacted by a member of the Tribe team who told me that a brand was keen to work with me again. I had already put in a submission. This was then rejected by the brand because they had ‘spent the budget.’ I can very clearly see that this is not the case - the pending submissions and budget spent is at the bottom of the briefs. This is completely unfair to creators. I think most of us would take a simple ‘we didn’t like your submission’ or ‘you charge too much.’ Lying is not on. It’s an insult to our intelligence. As I had a previous successful campaign with the brand, I have a means of contacting them, so I have politely asked for honest feedback.
