🤔 kinda, but not really. If account keeps client happy, that happy client buys good work, which then should result in happy creatives. They don’t owe us or our happiness shit lol. Be kind to your account people friend, their jobs kinda suck. 🤗
We try
We don’t live to serve you 🙄
Sorry! I guess I was too busy building a brand, leading my clients to better work, understanding their business to uncover better opportunities for the agency (to win precious awards) while driving profitability (so everyone gets pay raises) without causing burnout and turnover that affects the relationship. I must have overlooked the other part of my job of stroking your creative ego and making you feel important. I’ll try harder next time.
Shut up and finish my banners 😂
Creative, friendly reminder that you are supposed to keep the clients not just your boss happy. Happy clients = bills paid = we all keep our jobs. Also, if you aren’t nice to me, I’m not going to make extra efforts to get you a cool, fun project from the client to work on because you are an ungrateful self-centered brat. We are one team. Act like it
There it is
Most importantly, you must keep your producer happy. And by producer I mean me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uhhh I mean, I think the actual equivalency would be more like:
Account = happy client
Project Managers = happy creatives
But you know what would be even better?? If you took your own happiness into your own hands and didn’t think there was a whole career dedicated to serving your happiness
In the 1960s (!) our predecessors invented Account Planners to fill this gap. Creatives and strategists were besties over their love of culture and ideas while balancing the Account folks' need to fulfill client demands. Christ Almighty this entire industry has devolved into not even knowing its own character.
Not intended to connote that. Tried to characterize the history of bridging the Gap between account and creative with the invention of Planners.
We're not your minions. Try working with us instead of treating us like toe jam. I'm sure there are issues on both sides. Mutual respect and all that...
And one more thing ... ALL and I mean ALL of the most successful creatives are not self-centered egomaniacs. Advertising is a team sport. "We are one team. Act like it" is spot on.
Don’t forget about ALL the people making you look good. You know, your deck designers, comp makers, assistants, etc. staying up after you’ve gone to bed to make sure everything is ready for your 9am call. I honestly do not think we’d make it without them and they get so little appreciation and none of the glory.
Deck designers? Comp makers? This would be happiness in itself, ha
Pack a lunch everybody...this is going to take a while
