Had a client once that just couldn’t understand the concept of green screen. Literally couldn’t get past it. There were some device screens (phones iPads etc) and we had no footage or direction yet so left them green for the first screening - and we explained in great detail that ultimately, of course, footage would be comped in. But all the client kept saying was ‘but green isn’t one of the brand’s colors. It can’t be green in there.’ They weren’t even able to give other comments because they were so stuck on that. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Offered a referral from someone at Deloitte but haven't heard back in 10 days since sending the job posting as they asked. I sent a follow-up email that has been read but still no reply.

Would anyone be willing to offer a referral for a Human Capital/Digital transformation position? I am worried the position will be filled as it has been posted for a month! Any leads would be appreciated and as always I am willing to sit down and chat with anyone!
