“I’ll know it when I see it”
“Keep pushing”
“There’s no ‘there’ there”
Inane feedback I have received over the years and promised myself I would never give to anyone, ever.
I get “keep pushing “ all the time. Not helpful
It’s amazing how much better the work is when creative directors actually give direction instead of just trafficking good and bad ideas
This is really good to put out there. Guarantee someone who needs to hear this stuff, will. Ain’t no one in a creative review role who can’t stand to get better.
Totally. As someone looking towards CDism, thank you for this reminder.
Oof. I was once presenting the work of multiple teams to an ECD and he was like do you actually think any of this is good? Tbh it wasn’t that good but the brief and the client were terrible. I left not long after that for another agency. Love my ECD now. He has actual feedback and it’s never “I don’t think it’s there yet, keep pushing.” There are specifics.
LOL I had a similar ECD who insisted that Jim Carrey and Lewis Black defined "quirky" and that their humor resonates with millennials.
