Tell them Bob says to show up or else.

Go find them after the meeting wraps. "This is what we presented. Here's the feedback. Are you aligned to move forward." Seriously. Stalk them.

Tried that, they get their executive assistants to cover for them at the last minute

Don’t invite senior people if that’s your goal. Honestly, invite them, let them vomit over everything and then do the right thing. Most senior people just want to hear themselves talk.

Leave r/ga. No shop has more people with “cd” in their titles in a single meeting than r/ga

Just tell them. “I think we’ll need you on this one, you know, crazy feedback and all..” or something like that.

Don’t mean to be stubborn, but i’d say again tell them. Clarity is always a good thing. Let them know having their exec ass doesn’t help or solve anything.

Tell them you need to make the meeting really expensive.

You’re just asking for a lot of feedback at the beginning AND the end now ;)

Find them outside the meeting and get their feedback
