Shitty agency behaviour

    Won a pitch for a fairly high profile client. During the project kick-off meeting with the CEO she said they preferred another agency's design over ours but chose us because we were cheaper. And then asked me to 'just copy their design'.

    I refused. Explained why and she complained to my boss who then threatened me with the sack if we lost the account.

    When your entire family live on your monthly paycheck, that shit gets stressful.

    Anyway, I told a friend at the competing agency in question after I quit and it caused a proper shit storm.

    • ugh I've been asked this so many times!!

      I just create something similar but my own. If they complain, then I tell them I'm protecting them from a lawsuit      Projectile
