Very usual one is the local status. For example I will have a campaign in june so I have to report my status to global. What’s the idea of the campaign and what’s the objective for the local brand. And when the campaign is going on I also have to report execution. And then review the report.

A very common topic is local status. For example, I will have a campaign in June so I have to report my status to the team in charge of managing the client. They often want me to report the idea and objective of the local brand.  I also have to report the current progress of the campaign once it has started. When the campaign is finished I then have to review the report. 

Lots of questions very normal ones, very stupid ones, very weird! I don’t know how to answer them. Like I choose media to cooperate, why we choose this media to cooperate. They will say, I don’t want to cooperate with them. I don’t know you don’t like that. I just want to cooperate with reasons that I think make sense. The reason is that they don’t like.

They ask a lot of questions. Some normal, some stupid, and some weird! Sometimes I don’t know how to respond. For example, in the past we were deciding what media platforms to use and they got mad. How was I supposed to know they would get offended? I based the options I gave them through research and it made sense. This gets me very annoyed.
