What are everyone's client horror stories? I had one client who didn't know what CPM was and needed me to explain it to her...she worked for Microsoft.

Not sure where the horror is here?
Why should a software/tech company employee know anything about the advertising world? Microsoft is not Google so not as reliant on ad revenue by far.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.

Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
