An internal ego
I’m working on an acquisition e-mail project, which let me say is extremely small on my client’s radar. He really barely gives a damn about this thing. Anyway, just before I send it to my client, this internal strategy department guy decides that he needs to take a look at it. He requests 2 minor but valid changes and asks to see it before it goes out. This gets on my nerves, but I’m like whatever. The changes are minor (just a matter of changing wording slightly), so it doesn’t worry me that the creatives can’t get to it before I send it out. I don’t really expect to hear back from this client for a while because of some personal reasons on his end, and also because this project is so low profile for him. That was yesterday.
You would think that a strategy director would have bigger issues to worry about than a small bit of wording on e-mail creative. Oh no. So today, I get this one line e-mail from him (CCing the world)…
What is the status on the revisions?
I’m just ignoring that one. If he has a problem with the way I work, he can go to my boss.
