Hilarious Works of Art Inspired by Bad Client Feedback

Share:

We all witnessed poor Peggy Olson have her brilliant bean ballet idea unceremoniously dismissed by the suits from Heinz last season on Mad Men. (“Where’s my bite and smile?” Ugh!) In other words, you don’t need to be an ad creative yourself to appreciate these hilarious artworks assembled by Mark Shanley and Paddy Treacy, original pieces that they and their industry colleagues designed based on “their favorite worst feedback from clients.” From eye roll-inducing generalities like “I’ll know what I want when I see it” to very specific suggestions that will make you laugh out loud (See: “Can we make that pig sexier?”), get a small taste of what it’s really like to work in advertising after the jump, and then head over to Sharp Suits to view the full collection, which we spotted thanks to Adweek.
