You’ll not love every piece of Victoria
Tourism Victoria is proving to be particularly unhelpful about its ad agency tender, which has more than a few agencies on tenterhooks, and many others wondering why the government agency hasn’t bothered to answer even the simplest of enquiries. Such as when a result might be expected.
While Dr Mumbo does not expect off the record tittle tattle from the powers that be, some indication as to when prayers will be answered or the axe will fall would be nice. After asking a very simple question, three times, he got this response.
Conventionally they’d be on tenterhooks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenterhook however maybe the little darlings do need tender hooks 🙂

Just for the record, it’s tenterhooks, not tender hooks.

I’ve made similar calls to Tourism Vic on behalf of agencies over the years, and they’ve always been the same when it comes to answering basic questions about their pitch process – incredibly unhelpful.
Its the agencies I feel sorry for. They don’t deserve to be dragged through a pitch for months on end, with no or minimal pitch fee paid and to not even know when they will find out if they’ve made the grade. It makes it incredibly hard to run a business.

Spelling corrected, thanks for spotting guys.
