..and what we really mean.
\n-“We’ll certainly consider that”
\n-Don’t make me laugh!<\/h5>\n
There is a major opportunity
\nWe need your money<\/h5>\n
Our advice to you
\nOur invoice to you<\/h5>\n
That’s a good point, but…
\nI’ve heard some rubbish in my time…<\/h5>\n
We’ve been thinking
\nBecause you obviously haven’t<\/h5>\n
There’s a lot of support for this concept
\nThis is our only concept<\/h5>\n
May I make a suggestion
\nDo this or you’re neck deep in shit<\/h5>\n
That’s a challenging brief
\nWhat the FUCK do you mean?<\/h5>\n
We’ll need to visit the factory
\nWe know you have a factory in Hawaii<\/h5>\n
We won’t need to visit the factory
\nWe know you have a factory in Siberia.<\/h5>\n
This is award-winning work
\nYou won’t understand this<\/h5>\n
We’ve taken a radical approach
\nWe gave this job to students<\/h5>\n
We’d like to challenge your brief
\nWe haven’t done the work yet<\/h5>\n
We’ve done a lot of analysis
\nThe invoice is bigger than you expected<\/h5>\n
We’ve had a breakthrough with your product
\nYou won’t recognise anything you’re about to see<\/h5>\n
Our creative director worked on this
\nIf you don’t buy it, you can tell him.<\/h5>\n
We’re going to do a sketchbook presentation
\nWe scribbled this down in the lift on the way up<\/h5>\n
We’ve done some very sketchy thinking
\nWe worked on the wrong brief<\/h5>\n
We had three teams working on this.
\nOur presentation is very confused<\/h5>\n
I can sense your excitement
\nHello, is anybody home?<\/h5>\n
You’ve given us a lot to think about
\nYou’ve completely change the brief… Ass hole!<\/h5>\n
We’ll go away and refine these concepts
\nShit! We’ll start from scratch…<\/h5>\n
