Usually it is about fit at this point. I had a client who always wanted to do this to see “if I would have a drink with your person”.

Know your potential clients business and competition for one thing.

Good luck!

That’s what I thought too! Thanks. previously the managing director said he’d narrow down to 2 candidates that were going to meet with clients and make a decision based on who clients like best so I’m really hoping I can make a good impression lol

That’s a very good sign. Stay consistent with what you impressed them with on first place. If you’ve passed the technical part; now present your emotional IQ, Team mentality, Agile, collaborative, autonomous too. Show that you embrace the corporate culture of that company. Good luck

Maybe try to understand their pain points ahead of the interview and tailor your questions around those pain points?

Learn as much as you can about the client and their business and keep doing whatever you’ve been doing to get to this point!

Don’t be afraid to ask people at the agency (who you’ve been interviewing with) about the client before you meet with them - what motivates them, what are their personal and professional ambitions, what challenges have they been facing, what’s their family/personal life like? And then research the hell outta the brand and the business in your market. Good luck! Meeting the clients is a good sign.

That’s actually very clever for the business. They continue building trust with their client by treating them as a stakeholder instead of just a customer. They’re having them approve who they want to work in the the business relationship moving forward. So smooth.

My advice is to be your authentic self. Whatever hoops you jump through to get the job, you’re going to have to jump through to keep the job, so be professional, but authentic. If the clients approval is what it takes to get your job, imagine what they might put you through to keep your job. This is an interview for you too, because the company is making it clear that you don’t work for them, but for their clients. Make sure those clients are people YOU want to do business with too.
