Behind every slick campaign is a lot of caffeine, chaos, and last-minute curveballs. In this After Show, Megan and Joe Federbush swap real stories about the behind-the-scenes moments that never make the case study slides. From awkward client requests to the stress of proving value in real time, Joe reveals how he keeps perspective when everything’s on the line.
They also dive into the lighter side of the job—why some of the “worst” ideas can actually spark the best conversations, and how humor sometimes saves the day when spreadsheets can’t.

How to handle client requests that make zero sense (without losing your cool)
Why not all “bad” ideas are actually bad—and how to use them strategically
The mental side of event marketing: staying sane when metrics rule everything
