    Something I've found to be incredibly true - for what it's worth:

    "Young eager beavers often have the bright idea of combining
    two of their clients in a joint operation. They may suggest that one
    client should mount a contest and offer another client’s product as
    the prize; or that two clients should share an advertisement in magazines. This doubling-up can be dangerous to the agency; almost invariably one of the clients will feel that he has got the short end of the stick. When you try to umpire disputes between clients, you end up with a bloody nose. I was brought up to keep my clients apart. The only time the head of Hathaway met the head of Schweppes was when they went to buy a Rolls-Royce on the same morning."

    -David Ogilvy
