Oh lordy. Those are some of the juicier ones. Here's ten more for ya.
1. We won't push the safe option but we need it there to show that the concept is better.
2. It was hard but thanks to me, we were able to sell the concept.
3. The client saw this and agrees with me that we should change this word.
4. The feedback should be in the pipeline.
5. Of course I revised the due date.
6. We really need this entire campaign done for Monday.
7. I really think you're grasping this account.
8. The client totally trusts in our judgment.
9. I've been up to my eyeballs in work.
10. I haven't left my desk all day.
That is hilarious & true! But why do I feel like a lot of the "lying" seems to be coming from the Account side?
For the benefit of our dear jane, some lies from us creatives.
1. We did the changes you suggested and it just doesn't work.
2. I really wish I could squeeze it in, but we're swamped with work down here.
3. Of course I proof read it every time.
4. Sorry I was stuck in traffic.
5. I never got that email.
6. We're working on that artwork right now.
7. You'll have the storyboards ready by 3 PM
8. Your accounts are my highest priority.
9. I'll discuss it with the CD to see if we can work around it.
10. Trust me, I know what the client is looking for ;)
Cheers luv
