They want changes? Instead of arguing with them you immediately acquiesce. Saves time. They can write the changes, come to the edit and do the edit, ask for work tomorrow and get it. The only thing they can't do is ask for it cheap. They have to pay big fees for that level of service. But they get to do anything they want without argument.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169807398234019196.post-91189231331974851132013-10-11T08:17:49.149+01:002013-10-11T08:17:49.149+01:00So true.

If only agencies (and it's not just ad agencies, design ones are just as bad) did stand up to their clients more often there would be a much higher quality of work out there. <br /><br />What I never can understand is why clients pay agencies a huge amount of money for their expertise and then try to tell them what to do/how to do it. Don't they realise they're only ever going to get the benefit of that expertise if they let the agency do what they do and have trust in them. Otherwise they might as well have kept their cash and done it themselves.Delicious Industrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244915640640934316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169807398234019196.post-6303120392950292972013-10-10T21:15:04.395+01:002013-10-10T21:15:04.395+01:00You're welcome to detect whatever you want to ...You're welcome to detect whatever you want to detect, CBDeM.
