Who is this PR agency who went to a client acting as if he/she owns the company? It’s like this:
This PR agency went to see a client for a project presentation. Once inside the boardroom, the project team was already seated waiting for this PR to start.
To the amazement of everyone, the leader of this PR agency said “Can you get me some water?”, addressing it to the owner of the project. The owner of the project was in total disbelief, but manage to keep his/her composure and replied “We don’t serve water here but we do have some coffee in the pantry. You can get some if you want”.
To this PR agency, do you think you’re in a restaurant or still in your office? How stupid and arrogant can you be? Asking the owner of the project to get you a glass of water? You should have brought your own water (five gallons for all I care) if you’re that thirsty. You’re there to make a good impression. I seriously think you have to quit this PR business – you are getting OLD my dear.
Of course, this arrogrant leader didn’t win the project. But I think he/she got a one year supply of bottled water to cool him/her off.
There are just too many people inside that boardroom that is why this PR leader’s secret is a secret no more.
