How do you communicate there is a tradeoff between speed and accuracy to a client who wants both by 9am for reporting through the day prior?

Just as you said. But give them examples or put in context for how one would suffer with the other. Ex. If you want this by 9am, there’s a greater chance of human error, or won’t leave enough time for actual insights that are the most valuable aspect and what you pay us for.

Try and get to the root of what exactly they need or question they need to answer and why. Often they really only need just one or two things, but don’t know how to ask for them

They’re not looking for a report or objectivity. They’re just looking for confirmation.

Just make sure you’re able to protect your own

Always call it a draft with a set time for a follow up. Though this might not work in D&A.

Do they need to know what happened or more importantly do they need to understand why? Automated dashboards can be build for the what. Insights into why and how to leverage the opportunity takes more time.

Maybe they really just need a KPI dashboard. But don’t let them shortchange the time for real insights and opportunity identification or you will end up with shallow analysis and that never goes well

This past year I’ve been feeling especially burnt out. Briefs are taking longer to click and it’s a struggle to come up with creative ideas. Even when I come back from a few days off, I find myself unable to focus on even the smallest project. I’ve thought about switching agencies or go in-house in hopes that new clients will get me excited and eager to work, but worried I’ll find myself in the same boat. The need to pay bills seems to be the only thing keeping me going. Any advice??? Plzzz

Hi All,

Join birlasoft one month back, but didn't get any project yet. Till now gave two client round perform well in both but afterwards didn't get any kind of response from RMG. RMG people are also not too interactive, they hardly respond to the pings.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable now as in my 8years career it is happening the first time that I am idle for a whole month, also there is no one to interact with. This whole atmosphere is now making me loose my confidence.

How do you handle difficult clients? Our agency has a client that asks for MANY corrections yet refuses to pay more for the extra work we're doing for her even if we followed her original guidelines to a T due to a history of this happening before.

I feel like my creative team is secretly criticizing me for asking them to build decks (their job) and make executive and client revisions (also their job).

This is the only project we are all on and I don’t understand why they make me feel like I’m asking for too much.

Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

However, there are no historical or category benchmarks and we are in the brand awareness/audience building phase; they understand that we will do retargeting later.
