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.
Pro
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.
Pretty standard
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.
This is how it is at Doner too.
