I totally agree, here's one more example: What about the Carpatica Bank "rebranding pitch" in wich they ask for 3 logo proposal and a new mission and vision statement...
Where does that qualify?

That would be a free pitch with "solicitation of design concepts to be produced on a speculative basis." Spec work, that is.

Also: we're at the third bank branding project (Brandient) and I can say this is a job that cannot be accomplished without a lot of face-to-face access to the CEO and the board of directors—even so it takes many months. Rebranding by e-mail is an absurd concept in the category. It might work for a hairstylist or a small bistro, but not ever for a bank.

I know, i just pointed out that we still speak in vain for most people. No marketing executive in his right mind could think rebranding has to do with logo and mission proposals:))
So to sum it up, we speak and protest and make efforts to evangelize the market yet our words fall on def ears. So once again to the world: there is no rebranding project without audit, strategy and consulting from a team of profesionals!

I'm completely with you. Why is it always that a designer's time and experience seems to be worth sh*t?
If you go and ask a few dentists to pitch on your root canal and do some spec fillings they would chase you out of town...
