Sad but true. We have a client whose name is S. Blow and he was in the process of testing our creative and DM strategy skills so he would feed us with several smallish projects. At a end of year account planning meeting our head of department comments in respect to this account - "When are we going to get a proper blow job!!!!".on the post: AdVent - best horrible line wins!

Don't cha just hate clients who want to squeeze as much information as possible into a print ad to the point that the core message is lost in rubbish info! Client : But there is still lots of white space around the margins. Me : How about I fill your room with furniture and you climb,crawl,squeeze your way to your desk...that is if you find your desk! The ad ran with a further 50% reduction in the original copy.on the post: AdVent - best horrible line wins!

I have a client who is a commitment phobic. It would be a nightmare getting him to signoff on projects. Having said that he would want the agency to proceed with the projects prior to sign off. So on one occasion I locked him in the conference room, handcuffed him to the chair and slipped the stack of cost estimates infront of him. He sat there amused at first coyly stating "I am not sure about signing off on these estimates at this stage?". To that, I dangled the keys to the handcuffs under his nose and said, "Take your time and think this over. Afterall, the more time I spend waiting for you to decide is the more time I clock into my timesheets against your account!". He signed off all of the estimates and miraculously his commitment phobic nature disappeared.on the post: AdVent - best horrible line wins!
