The Drum asks Driftime's co-founder, Sara Taiyo, for thoughts on Keurig Dr Pepper's unethical 360-day payment terms.

Small businesses need to resist

Last week, it was revealed that US consumer goods giant Keurig Dr Pepper was demanding that agencies bidding for its business agree to wait almost a year before getting paid for their services. Institutions across the industry have condemned the practice, including Voxcomm, the IPA and the 4A’s.

The Drum reached out to Driftime's co-founder, Sara Taiyo, to understand what agency leaders think of the ask? And beyond Dr Pepper itself, whether the creative industry broadly would agree to such payment terms for any client?
