Tonight, the person who got the dreaded “You’re fired!” was Sarah from the marketing team. Yes, our dear Sarah, who tried to sell a luxury watch to a vegan influencer. It was as awkward as it sounds.
She was project manager for a task that involved creating a viral ad campaign. The result? A video that looked like it was filmed on a potato in 2004. Lord Sugar was not amused, obviously.
Sarah argued that the campaign had “soul,” but the numbers told a different story. Zero sales, three complaints, and one accidental eggplant emoji in the client’s email. Ouch.
The Clues Were All There
Let’s be honest, we all saw this coming from the first pitch. When your idea is literally just “let’s put a cat in a business suit,” you’re already on thin ice. The cat, ironically, looked more professional than the presentation.
Another red flag? Sarah kept calling the client “dude” even after being told not to. She claimed it was “building rapport.” I call it a one-way ticket to the firing line.
Her defense in the boardroom was… creative. She blamed the audio guy for “bad vibes.” Classic move, right? Blame the sound technician when your entire concept is a dumpster fire.
