- Bad Client Stories From the Front Lines
This blog has been a long time coming. I’ve thought of different ways to voice my opinion about this industry and the clients that I’ve run into. When I talk to other agencies it doesn’t take long to realize that I am not the only one in the world who has suffered some. I’m no saint, nor to I purport to be holier than though, but I would like to think that I have become somewhat competent within the Interactive Marketing industry.
I don’t know who will read this or where it will go. If nothing else, it will simply be a place where professionals within this industry can get together and share some stories regarding their most memorable clients. I’m sure there will be some occasional bitterness in some of my posts, yet I will certainly voice my opinion. But that’s what blogs are for. It’s just my opinion. I may be off at times but I’m sure that any participants will call me on this. This is my personal fortress of solitude -my opportunity to rip on my clients that just didn’t get it, or because of their ignorance - they chose to act without knowledge and ruin a perfectly good project. But details will come in the stories. I am not a writer or an english major but I have a story to tell. Stay tuned.
