There was a link, but it wasn't live yet because we werent launching for two more days. They wanted us to put it out before the launch. But I'm not sure why they made that recommendation if they knew it would be a problem.

It's not my decision but if I day pull the plug, they will. I've already outlined all this to my client and she is aware and agrees. She said that me and my colleague should decide together at the end of this month if it is something we want to continue. I think maybe if I do some research and present some alternatives, maybe that will help.

Even if their scope if simply limited to pitching this to news outlets, it is unacceptable for her to be late. My client wants to be supported and reassured. Even though she's a total pro, she still wants someone standing up with her. She plays off like she's a natural presenter. And she is good. But she's not a performer. I'm a trained performer, and I get why she's wanting some support. She just wants someone on her side, backing her up. She wants to be staffed. Which, btw, is totally normal. I've staffed numerous clients, acting as an assistant, at numerous events. If it gets the job done, I'm not too humble to prop my client up.

And the thing is, the client has to trust you. And she doesn't and neither do the rest of us. So I dont know what they can when they've already shown what little integrity they have. The only way for them to clean that up is for us to give then that chance and continue paying them. I'm not up for that idea. Not when I have to raise the money to pay them.
