One of the benefits/hardships of
running an Advertising Agency is you go where your clients want you to go.
Sometimes this is a wonderful thing, especially if you’ve not yet been there.
Other times you think “not again!”
Either way, a 1 to 3-hour meeting with the client turns into much more. Time spent planning the trip, making arrangements for responsibilities beyond life as a Project Manager, and postponing other work at least a few hours in the process is where a lot of my creative genes are expressed.
Being a Project Manager I have tried to relieve the stresses for my clients by using my nifty cell for access to e-mail (and phone too! Except during flying of course) and taking my laptop with me. Having a mobile office is the way I prefer and has served me well during my travels.
I
need to be connected and I need access to all my files –I’m just more
comfortable that way. I’m the woman who will be taking her huge purse to Heaven because they might not have something I or
someone else will need. My husband jokes that it’s a diaper bag! Therefore, it
fits me perfect -to have an office on the go. Needless to say clients have
appreciated it too. More often then not, the files that they need are right at
my fingertips.
