I can’t stand a copy-and-paste account person. You know what we’re going for. You know why decisions were made. If the feedback doesn’t make sense or ruins the creative idea, push back or get clarification before it even gets to my inbox.
Stop making us the bad guys. We’re all on the same team.
Also, I say this because I’ve work with lovely account people who’ve gotten this, and some truly awful ones who didn’t.
Well said. I had one that would slack with a client during the call and openly shit on the creative, so that was lovely. He’d also go out for drinks w/her independent of work events and text obsessively like teenage during off hours. I’d say there was something deeper going on there, but he was gay, so…
I can’t remember the last time I worked with an account person that did anything but say yes. Nice thought, though.
hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

A good account person is rare these days. Most of them consider their job to be nothing more than scheduling meetings.
I do love getting lucky enough that sometimes client feedback makes me go "OH, good point". But it's rare lol.
