All this characterizing as "lying" is so dramatic. Is there literally no possibility that he misunderstood something, or that maybe the caller-out from the ad agency is themself leaving something out? People are so quick to label and name-call when we can hardly say we really know anything about the situation for certain.
- afavour 5y agoIt is, I imagine, possible that someone beneath the CEO arranged the whole thing and covered up the ad agency’s involvement. Which would also be a massive red flag.
- slg 5y agoI didn't say he was lying. I was reacting to the hypothetical in the previous comment that maybe this drama was intentional. If that is the case, I have no idea what word to use besides "lying". With our current knowledge, it can still be a misunderstanding and like I said maybe "he was just ignorant to the details of how an idea for an ad originated."

Of course I'm no business mercenary with experience at all levels and sizes of company, but for something like this I think we can assume they had a lot of meetings about it.
