Mayday!

The MAM went rogue on us today. We'd shown our client a cut of their commercial with music track (a) and they'd loved it. But then we came up with music track (b), which we considered to be an improvement. It only remained to convince the client of this, which presented a challenge as they were pretty much married to track (a).

While the sound engineer fiddled about putting the finishing touches on our preferred track, the client waited outside the studio ready for the big reveal.  It was at this point that the MAM wandered outside unsupervised (in a gin trance) and declared to the client, contrary to what we'd all agreed, that his preference was actually for the original track (a).

A scene ensued, during which he was threatened with a kick in the balls should he ever open his big mouth again. I think we managed to salvage the situation though, by the time the client departed we'd talked them round to track (b) being the more pacy and contemporary of the two.
The MAM had better pray that this is the case.
