Our unofficial client red flag list. 🚩💀
No names.
No screenshots.
No one is getting sued.
Just a few… patterns we’ve noticed. 👀
🚩 “Can we just make a small change?”
The change: completely different concept.
🚩 “Just one more thing!”
One more thing #17 has entered the chat.
🚩 Disappears for 3 weeks.
Then: “Hi! Can we have this by tomorrow?”
🚩 “We want it to feel more viral.”
Okay but… what does that mean? 😭
🚩 Sends feedback in 6 different WhatsApp messages instead of one brief.
🚩 “Our competitor posted something similar. Can we do exactly that?”
And look, we get it. 😂
Working together means revisions, last-minute requests, changing minds and the occasional “wait, actually…”
But there’s a difference between normal project chaos and making your creative team question their life choices.
Luckily, for every red flag, there’s a green flag. 💚
Clear briefs.
Trust in the process.
Respect for timelines.
Useful feedback.
And clients who actually see us as partners, not a button they press for content.
Those are our favourites.
Agency people, what’s one client red flag you’ve definitely encountered? 👀
