"I very much like the visual of concept 1 and also the headline of concept 2. Put them toghether, please."
(1st one was about a girl wearing different shoes with the headline "you don't need to choose", the second one was abou a bomb with a counter of 28 hours 54 minutes and 24 seconds with the headline "you have all the time you need" - we ended up with a girl wearing different shoes and the headline "you have all the time yo uneed" - the agency fired the client eventually)

"My husband is an executive, and he doesn't read your publication - so I won't put it on the plan."
"But we can do registration targeting just to c-levels."
"Can you reach my husband?"
"Not if he doesn't read us."
