For the first time in seven years, I just got not-too-pleasant feedback from the client on the work-stream I’m leading. Needless to say, I’m down and feel like crap. Someone hold me 😢

Aw, hang in there and know this happens to everyone at some point along the way. Take the feedback and work to course correct. You will be fine in the long run!

I’m always proud of my work, but today feels so different

All feedback is good feedback. But not all feedback is right feedback.

Thanks, FB fam

Someone please let me in on what’s going on with pharmaceutical advertising. Why is it the dumbest, most juvenile shit on television? It’s all horrible. My guess is you guys are getting paid a lot to work with a bunch of know it all, god complex doctors. So you compete to see who can create the biggest pile of shit on tv. Kind of the opposite of the One Show I guess. Please share because I cannot fathom how the dry eyes, eye drop commercial I just saw even got presented to a client.

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.
