In this episode, I cover six mistakes I see all the time—in independent studios, freelancers, even junior strategists inside agencies. They’re subtle. But they scream to clients: “This person’s not thinking strategically.”
These are small things—like skipping intro slides or over-describing your design—but they quietly undermine your authority. Luckily, they’re easy to fix.
You’ll learn:
-
Why skipping “intro slides” is the biggest red flag there is
-
The difference between design executions and brand ideas
-
How to stop oversharing like a design school grad
-
How to frame concepts so clients don’t ask for 10 more
-
And why emailing your work is a surefire way to sabotage your pitch
If you’ve ever walked out of a client meeting thinking, “Why didn’t they get it?”—this one’s for you.
