The client said what? Number 2

A well known energy company complains that they don't like the colour green on a pack that a creative team has made for them.

The creative team, asks why.

The client responds that their school uniform was green and that they didn't like school very much. The client asks if it can be changed to blue instead.

The copywriter, quick as a flash, replies that blue would be a problem too as that was the colour of her school uniform.

Client doesn't pick up on the irony.

The world keeps on turning.

That's much like a story in 'Hey Whipple' about fly swatters...


You can always leave and find better clients, mind you that's not always easy, the finding better clients bit....
