absolutely horrendous how the brand strategist on this account i'm managing is the go-to for copy and proofs but she doesn't understand the brand whatsoever and is a huge strain on internal processes. i'm so tired of most of my day being given to righting her mistakes and editing her edits. god

#i've been QAing files with her edits applied and like. the designers are doing great at applying all of the edits #but her edits are missing so much that i'm giving things back to design like 'all requested edits applied. but i have more edits'#and it's not even like. small things. or small projects? like this isn't an eblast we're talking about it's a whole animated video #at least one of the things. the one that's the most awful. it's already gone through so many rounds of edits that the #creative services director who's responsible for routing all edits was like 'listen we can't keep versioning this every time #strategist or client comes back with additional edits. it's a huge waste of time and resources. you're getting stills until we're done'#and the supervisor and strategist were both like :) looks great! please move to production #and then i got the updated video to QA and like. the edits were done. but every frame needed an additional edit #because it's very copy-heavy and so much went wrong. because i wasn't the one proofing. holy shit #i was just thinking like. god i wish i was able to get eyes on everything and sign off on it before it goes out. this is ridiculous #but like. i do now. that's my job now. what's frustrating is i'm the only one in this whole agency who knows the client well #the supervisor on the account has only been here 2 months. i've been here a year #it's such a mess i understand why they pulled me in on it but my god. if we could just get the strategist off this account....#but we cant because she's the one who brought us the account. ugh. she's in nursing school right now so she'll quit eventually #it's just a matter of time. maybe if i wanna stay here i'll see her out and feel so at ease omg
