Anyone ever have the head of client services at an agency tell creative that account has the final say for all creative decisions? Cause that's how LUCID US rolls.

Respectfully… learn how to sell your work? If you can’t convince your account people that your idea idea is good maybe you should work on that. If your account people don’t back you then find the skills. For better or worse this is a team sport

Agree with this! Team effort.

Yes, at my agency it was the President to the whole agency “it doesn’t matter what the creatives want”

So much for being lucid.

Only at places where creativity isn’t the main offering. Otherwise there should be a creative leader that has ultimate say as to what gets presented.

This was my experience at Anomaly and Droga.
There are very few actually Creative-led places today.

Account is a mouthpiece between the client and the agency. It’s not your coworker getting their way, it’s your paying client. 99% of agencies do whatever the client demands.

Yeah. The question is whether anyone else listens.

Yes, an account director just put their foot down last week and said, “I make the final call here, not creative.”

Except when there's a mistake. Then it'll be your fault.

Never explicitly but worked at extremely account-run agencies before where it was the unspoken truth because appeasing client was the priority. Saatchi LA was particularly “suit” heavy.

They do have final say though. Push back if you have heart for something, but that’s pretty standard.

Oh sheesh then that’s definitely not staying in their lane.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
