So a while back I wrote about a big meeting I’d had with a client in Australia.
I don’t think it takes a Rocket Scientist to work out who I was talking about, but after weeks and weeks of waiting, we’ve finally got the news we’ve been waiting on.
We’ve been fired.
Despite it not being totally unexpected, we’re obviously totally and utterly gutted [especially for the brilliant team who worked their hearts out to create something we were all very proud of] however when a company you’re associated with decides to sue the client both personally and corporately [allegedly issuing new legal action the Thursday before the main meeting!] then it’s always going to be abit of an uphill struggle.
[Bit of an understatement that last bit!]
I can’t go into specifics because I’m pissed off, disappointed, frustrated and conscious of legal ramifications [and no, that is not being dramatic] … however in the near future I’ll write about one of the weirdest stories that’s come out of adland and it’ll sadly prove my Dad was right – advertising IS full of children playing at being adults!
