He's a cheeky one is that Garry Lace. The moment he took the helm at Grey Worldwide, those in the know were predicting the agency's new-business strategy would become decidedly more unorthodox. They were right.

Regular Campaign readers will be aware, if they've been paying due attention, that Glaxo- SmithKline recently reviewed its Lucozade Sport account. Grey may have failed to make the official pitchlist, but Mr Lace wasn't going to let a little detail like that stop him going after the business. As GSK is a Grey client, Lace decided he would chance his arm, and set about cooking up a pilot ad for the brand.

Although the ad was looked at it was to no avail, as M&C Saatchi emerged victorious with the business in its pocket. However, the ad didn't go to waste. For reasons known only to himself, the Nutritionals Glaxo- SmithKline marketing director, Peter Harding, requested Lace send the commercial to the M&C Saatchi supremo Nick Hurrell.

Lace duly obliged, and enclosed the following little note for good measure.
