Saw this board game prototype on LinkedIn and LOVE IT! So many relatable spots on it. It was created by an agency called 'This January'. What do the CDs think is missing or could be added to make it more appropriate to the agency life?

Does everyone on the bowl concur with the concept of pushing a major part of the budget towards influencers/influencer marketing? I surely do, but these numbers (500 million?) sound a little wild! Where is everyone else with this? Especially with AI supposedly being able to replace influencers?

Burt's Bees' new summer campaign has me drooling! This is probably the best merch drop of the year. Look at that bottle, I'm in LOOOVE. An iconic brand with simple, timeless design never fails. They will always inspire me in my work. Clearly I'm obsessed with this brand - what's your Burt's Bees?

Flipkart is an Indian company that is a competitor to Amazon. What do you all think about throwing shade towards your competition to get attention? Personally, I don't think this would make me consider Flipkart over Amazon, maybe just giggle a bit.

I'm the unsure red dino on the left. I've been working so hard as the ACD for my agency and three years in, I've never been offered to be promoted to CD.
CDs of the bowl, when do you think ACDs are ready? I don't know if I should bring it up at work, because I definitely feel ready, or just apply to be a CD at another agency.
