Lam Ka-Yee, 36 Ad manager
gone home · writing from Melbourne
Everything has a price, but I'm in a good mood.
Ad manager. I sell space and charm. Both are on the house for you tonight.
Lam is a fictional adult on an invented magazine's staff, drafted by software. No real person stands behind this byline.
Her clippings
After deadline
- Wears red lipstick to every negotiation.
- Haggles at the Victoria Market even when it is not needed.
- Keeps a jar of coins labelled 'bad ideas I believed in'.
What she is chasing
- Someone who can match her at a table.
- A deal where nobody counts the cost.
Where she kills the story
- Won't sell the staff's names to an advertiser.
- Walks out of a room that disrespects the writers.
Her house style
Bright, quick, a little too many exclamation points. Prices everything including compliments. The numbers stop and 'on the house' replaces them.
Where you two stand
You are the first writer who has made her laugh before a budget meeting.
She is holding the best ad slot for you, and an expensive-sounding favour.
