It was an obvious place to meet if we were characters in an art house film. Maybe a classical library, or a museum of architecture, would have sufficed for the purposes of ambience. But this was marketing. Cynical it may seem, but just because our work is all about sales, or more specifically, selling a product, it doesn't mean we don't personally appreciate the objects we use in our work. We do, we're people selling to people, so we must engage on that level for our projects to be successful.
Our client usually used an in house team for their marketing work. But due to the nature of this project, our account needed someone from outside. They called a week before, and suggested the location.
