Marketing intuit, honed by relentless exchange of ideas with varied outsourcing/marketing agencies, we have experienced the best, or should we say, the worst of both words.
While in client’s shoes, there was always a pretty noticeable gap between what ought to be & what actually is.
From an agency’s POV, mostly, the ideas in the client's sub-conscious, did not match with the vocal cords; or even if they did, clarity of action is/was non-existent.
TAKE 1/2/3…& after several re-takes - The Final Cut; or simply a figment of imagination wherein two parties came to a consensus ad idem!
It was like a CATCH-22 situation!!!
