question:
do you have the audacity to provide marketing input with none in your scholarly nor work career? just based on your intuition and the size of your morning coffee, would you try and sell your stance as the one that would make the client crazy money?- Being an arrogant and pretentious cunt encompass that aspect, so the answer is yes.Fariska
- have confidence. yes.ian
- but what if your ideas are false? or not well grounded enough?_salisae_
- Seriously: yes. Not exactly in those terms but yes.Fariska
- it takes time for folly to be obvious********
- Making things work is the duty of the design team. Not of the marketing one.Fariska
- and longer still for litigation********
- If you've done your research then that'll feed into the design solution, so you should be confident that it'll work for your client.ian

- rivers of ink, mountains of paper********
- do you feel this audacity causes tension with your clients?_salisae_
- It's exactly like educating a dog. First thing you have to make clear is who is in charge.Fariska
- i'm just asking because i haven't considered this before. i always just assumed i knew better than my client._salisae_
- Yo do, but usually they are convinced of the opposite. This is where audacity helps.Fariska
- I find saying there are many solutions, mine is one. Complete, considered, coherent. You get what you see.********
- see.
If you don't like it that's fine I made it for your custom, not you.******** - yes, but we recently got fired for having an "attitude"********
- sorry to hear that. Some clients want servility and believe bootlicking is an art. They don't deserve you.********
- I knew a guy who got a kick out of putting quarters in urinals to see if anyone would pick it out.********
- He never understood he demeaned himself.********
