Myself and Oscar Bertola (Creative Director) will be presenting “The Bad Client” in Dallas, Texas next week. This will be one of the presentations being made at Design Trends on May 25th being held at the Hyatt Regency. More information on the event can be found here.

If you are not attending this event, feel free to reach out to learn more about “The Bad Client”. It is a 30 minute presentation that winds a tale through the adventures in producing sound retail merchandising programs while hurdling the many obstacles we all encounter along the way. Walk away from this presentation with valuable and actionable steps to help your in-​store programs, while hopefully having a laugh or two.

Beyond speaking at this event, Oscar and I will be taking part in a retail tour of concepts found in Dallas and the surrounding area. Rest assured our camera’s will be fully charged and you’ll see the posts here.

If we get a chance to break away we have decided to take in arguably one of the craziest quick service restaurant concepts in the world. That’s right faithful readers, we are putting our life on the line and visiting The Heart Attack Grill. I’ll let the following video do the talking. A Quadruple Bypass Burger with a side of Flatliner lard fries chased with a Buttermilk Shake.

In light of this I am fasting in preparation for this insanity. I’ll be sure to post a few images (if we make it out alive).

UPDATE — May 27, 2011 Below are a few screen grabs taken from The Bad Client presentation. If you’d like to learn more, we’d be happy to present to your team.
