    hah!

    AD's job is to go into a meeting and control the client expectations and experience and cause them to trust the process and hand off a vague set of ideas to a GD, who comes up with a product which the AD then uses his Reality Distortion Effect to convince the client to accept without any changes or "make the logo bigger" moments...

    Graphic Designers are often canon-fodder in a meeting if there's no AD there to control the client....

    at least in my previous experience...

    but to fire all the GD's would result in slower work output by far....

    • strange how this makes an AD sound more like an account exec... but that happened at one agency....vaxorcist
