Account director gets PDFs from now on

likesmart

Some clients are gonna edit no matter what you do. I had one who would export the PDF into PPT, make changes, and send it back.

Drove me nuts. Like please stop because now I have to waste time trying to figure out what the hell you did.

I also had one who SWORE they knew how to photoshop. That was fun

New group account director doesn’t pass us notes but gives edit access to the deck to the client to make it easier and have less go-between. And yes, we brought this up to our ECD.

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

It’s terribly frustrating, but this is the way many clients work nowadays. In fact, many clients demand this kind of access & pre presentation editing. I have learned not to let it drive me crazy.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
