Idioms and Expressions
Use the words from the list to complete this conversation between an advertising executive and a client.
At the agency
Ad Exec
What you need is a whole new
look
. The one you have is outdated. The design of your
logo
is drab, and in an industry where speed and cutting edge technology are of the essence, you can't afford to present yourself as yesterday's company. You have to be
ahead of the game
and show the consumer what you'll be tomorrow, now.
Chris
Yes, I think we're in agreement on that, and as far as we're concerned it's a question of global
branding
. People all over the world should know who we are. We want to
redo
our image so that people see us as the quintessential wireless company.
Ad Exec
Well, I have a
vision
for your campaign.
It's all about
freedom. A series of spots that focuses on everything from the freedom to choose your calling plan, to the freedom to connect to the Internet from anywhere.
Chris
Actually, we were thinking of focusing more on our technology specifically. We want to show the consumer that with SuperWireless,
the sky is the limit
. There isn't anything you can't do, or won't be able to do...
Ad Exec
Well I'm sure we can work together with the creative team to come up with a fabulous campaign. But getting down to business, what's your
bottom line
? How much do we have to work with?
Chris
Theoretically we're willing to do
whatever it takes
to get this project off the ground. Of course,
the word upstairs
is that we get a better bang for our buck. The boss wants this campaign to be something really special. You know how bosses can be.
Ad Exec
Of course. Don't worry. You'll be happy with our agency.
