A tissue meeting is an informal presentation of creative work or other ideas to a client. Tissue meetings are common in advertising and design agencies and allow these agencies to test their thinking on their clients without committing to progressing with any of the work. The client is allowed input in the knowledge that the ideas being presented may be in the early stages of development. It is often mistaken by some agencies as a way of half-heartedly walking through unfinished ideas, rather than an opportunity to showcase exciting germs of ideas that impress and delight.
