Trust me, being a TV producer is no walk in the park either – host wants Oprah on the show, you better get Oprah on the show! Um, what..!? Let me waste *more* time out of my day chasing that one for you. LOL!! And kudos for the douchebag reference. :)

A lot of agencies don’t want to risk the relationship or appear to be uncooperative. I know I’ve been guilty of that. There’s a fine line between good strategic counsel and bad client service.

Even for those of us who’ve been in the business a long time, sometimes we can’t see the forest from the trees.

So, I had to Photoshop pictures of the client on top of the female character’s body to create a “memory book” of sorts that pretended the client was hanging out with the lead male character. The challenging part was, to put it delicately, the woman was not the same size as the lead actress.

I think someone at the client company requested we do this for her as gift. Not my favorite project by far!

At any rate – YES! Let’s crowdsource it! How do we get this started??
