If people use a little ingenuity and grab a programmer, most CMS's can be customized to add a little flair - maybe not 15 pieces of flair - but enough to show some personality. You made the right move. It's a shame a large company doesn't get that. Shawn, I agree with you for the most part but you answered your own question with my answer.
