This year I’m going to tell producers and suits to “fuck off” more.

This year I’ll not provide any timeline as it means nothing to me and it changes from time to time.

This year I won’t scrutinise briefs that start with:
1. Client has approved the ideas but not so keen on the visual
- this means in a much direct way, it’s rejected and please redo
2. Well done team, the presentation went well and let’s make this happen
- this means we need to rush out magically
This year I will not try to please my client, but only my cat
This year I will not start my brief with “Guys, the deadline is tomorrow, but don’t worry, this project is very simple
This year i will not be told by creative that i am the blocker between creative and the client! That’s my job i am the internal client!
Occasional Account Director Full time Bus Dev Director
This year I will not let myself get pushed out of meetings because I’m “not on the fee”.
Planner
This year I will not agree with the Client’s stupid requests. I’ll tell them to LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN to me, and blame everything on cats.
This year I will stop pretending that drinking alcohol helps me generate ideas.
