Saying No to a Client
I passed on a rather large and lucrative long-term third party contract today. A polling and marketing agency wanted to hire us to work on political pieces for the general election.The problem was they wanted us to create and write copy for Republican candidates. Knowing how close this election will be, I can recognize that the pieces will have to be very persuasive, and will probably need to go on all-out attack. I knew I couldn't put my heart into it, and that they deserved to have a designer who can. So I passed.
It felt really good.
