    A creative director came up with a slogan that emphasized the company's hard working efforts. A photo shoot was created to take pictures of the employees hard at work. However the images were not ready, so the designer used a placement image. Using real photos the company collected of employees hard at work.

    These realistic photos caught people working, depressed, images of slave labor came to mind, things the company did not want to express. However these photos were real images captured within the company. The designer thought it was funny, but used them as placement imagery. At least til the ones from the photo shoot arrived. Somehow the placement images circulated throughout the agency and to the company.
