Q&A - John Fuller, Partner / President of Kovel/Fuller (The Pitch)
In Episode 5 of The Pitch, John Fuller, Partner/President of Kovel/Fuller, speaks with AMCtv.com about the benefits of hiring people from outside advertising, and the most outrageous thing he's ever done to win an account.
Q: How did Kovel/Fuller become involved with The Pitch?
A: My partner Lee (Kovel) is personal friends with Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank. She knew one of the producers [of The Pitch] and vouched for their integrity. So we met with them and agreed to do it.
Q: Did being on camera have any affect on the way your team works?
A: There was a lot less cursing. [Laughs]
Q: Many senior people on your team have never been in advertising before. What kind of benefits does that give your agency?

Q&A - Steven Crutchfield, Senior Copywriter of The Ad Store (The Pitch)
In Episode 5 of AMC's The Pitch, Steven Crutchfield, Senior Copywriter of The Ad Store, talks about returning to the show and what it's like working with boyfriend Paul Cappelli.
Q: The Ad Store appeared before on Episode 2 of The Pitch. What made you decide to do it again?
A: We had a great time doing that episode, so we had no problem doing it again. We are always happy to show how we think, and hopefully the show does that, while also showing that we're nice people to work with who will be passionate about the project.
Q: Was it easier shooting the second time around?
A: I think it was a bit easier just because we knew what to expect as far as the cameras and production go. We weren't worried that they'd be a hindrance to the process, and we sort of understood the rhythm. Everything you see is real. Nothing is ever staged or scripted. And I think, once you get used to having a camera over your shoulder and following you around everywhere you go, you relax a bit and probably become even more real.
Q: How did you get into advertising?
