The Real Reasons I Dislike BDA's

Aside from all my gripes with BDA’s, I finally narrowed it down to the three main reasons why I dislike ’em so:

Nothing’s done on a handshake. Everything is a process. It’s corporate. I hate corporate bullshit.
There’s always an over-the-top anal-retentive AM assigned to your account. Someone, somewhere thinks this is the perfect fit for Vegas Clients. It’s not. These people never survive Vegas. Ever.
You never talk to the people who are really working on your shit. Those people are locked in a dungeon somewhere, never allowed to interact with you. The result? Lots of things are lost in translation on both sides.

And this folks, is why I will always choose the small, creative shop and internal help over a BDA.
