Rude Clients Get What The Deserve in the End

Duh-Idiot1.jpg

Writing on Advertising Age’s Small Agency Diary, Doug Zanger shares a story of a client meeting that didn’t go so well. If you’ve worked in advertising for even just a year, you’ve experienced plenty of these nightmares and the idiots that fuel them. The story Zanger shares doesn’t actually sound as bad as some we’ve experienced or, perhaps you have. We’d love to hear your horror stories and so would Zanger.

Because Small Agency Diary is published by Advertising Age which, one assumes, has deep pockets, they’re offering prizes for the best horror stories so you might want to share your story over there. All we can offer at this point in a used iPod and a ream of white paper. So you decide.
