@CIM 1 sure did, said “we are actually here in conference room X at your office like we discussed” and she replied “oh that’s nice, I’m already dialed in in my office so I’m just going to stay here”

That client has zero respect

Not a client but I went for a job interview where I flew from NY to San Francisco only to video chat with people who sat in New York. 😬

Holy heck that is disrespectful.

Ok, three theories:
1. It's a power move, she's a bitch.
2. Girl has a nasty case of the zits/cold sore/black eye from bar fight the night before and is too embarrassed to see you in person.
3. Someone else from the client side was supposed to join that meeting and Client didn't know they didn't show.

I hope it's #2...

We had our direct client skip out on our annual media plan presentation to “clean the fish tank”. So disrespectful after working on that plan for a full month of 60 hour weeks...

Or it’s a financial move. Creatives are the scarce resources that need to be billable. They’re expendable, time wise, and less likely to say something dumb over a beer.

I once flew to Korea for a presentation. When we landed we were told the client had flown to NYC.

Also did a pitch in Moscow once. Got there and the client saw the opening slide and said "this isn't what we want" and immediately dropped the agency from the pitch. Not the same. But still a terrific waste of time and money.

How would you rate the freelance market at the moment? I’ve recently quit fulltime, and beyond a couple of my own (LLC) short client projects - I’ve had zero agency freelance over the summer.
I have 10 years exp (2.5 as CD on well known brands) at respected agencies, and some awards.
What am I doing wrong? I left FT to address some long term burnout, but now I’m afraid if this continues - I’ll have to go back full time, without even snagging a FL gig. 🫤

But nonresidential real estate at 27.5 years doesn’t make sense either as it’s not a brick and mortar building. Curious on others thoughts! TIA

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.
