Moving to NY after summer, any agencies hiring mid-senior creatives?

Who’s hiring for remote account teams?

World-known company where I’m completely stalled in terms of growth and opportunity and pay vs average company that wants to give me a nice 30k bump + senior position? Seems obvious, but I won’t be working on any major brands and it’s worrying me a bit.

what is the average salary for a UX Designer position in Chicago with one year of experience (close to entry level)?

I really think that some large holding companies are ever gonna force us back into the office. My ECD is based on the east coast. All three of the ACD/CD teams they hired in the past six months are east coast based. Our office is in the central time zone. Yet every job posting says “in person”. Seems like they just don’t want to advertise their hiring remote for the attractive accounts.

I’ve recently got three offers for a UX Designer position. The offers are in different cities (Denver, Chicago, Austin) and I’m trying to understand what the average salary is for this position. All three offers are with highly respectable ad agencies and require 1 year of experience.

Has anyone worked at Havas or Mediahub for analytics? I’m deciding between the 2 companies for an entry level position.

Hiring an AD on my team! 2-5 years of experience. Must be conceptual. Comedy chops preferred. Job is remote but you must live in the NYC area. DM me for more details.

I’ve been in my new role for 7months and have done everything but my actual job. They had me help on programmatic then moved me to social to help there and now one of the 2 managers we have quit. So I’m picking up more slack. Can I ask for a raise or does that look like I’m taking advantage that one of the managers quit?

Hi - does anyone work at a pharma ad agency or previously worked at one as a PM or similar role? Pros & cons?

Is 72andsunny hiring?

Recruiter reached out to me about an assistant manager, Amazon media trader position in the L’Oréal professional products division. Anyone have anything they think is worth knowing for someone who may be potentially joining the company? Company culture? Salary? Opportunities for growth? Etc…?

So my boss is leaving the company and the question has started to come up if my colleague or me are going to take his position. I’ve been hesitant to take it because I’m ready to start somewhere new. I feel like I’ve done the best of my ability for the work that I’ve done. Also, do not like the politics of this place. Should I try to get the position or let my colleague have it? Need some opinions

Can anyone tell me what it's like to work at Wpromote? Currently interviewing for a Programmatic Campaign Manager role there since I'm making the switch from a big ad agency in NYC (currently a digital media planner with about 3 years exp. total).

Wanna know the workload/WLB, salary, perks, culture, general vibe etc. TIA!

How does the Fiverr referral bonus work? $100 if someone signs up using my link? Or their first gig or something

Thoughts on Havas San Francisco?

Have a friend who was offered a position with their healthcare team, and has uneasy feelings about accepting the role.

They said the interviews went well, but something seemed/felt off.

What’s the salary range at Splashlight studios for photo art director role? And how is your experience working with them?

Feeling really lost right now. I’m 9 months in as an Assistant Media Planner, my first job ever in Advertising. Didn’t have much training when I was brought on and I feel like I’m slipping behind. Any advice out there from someone that was in my position or higher up the media ladder?

People with hiring power: For a junior creative starting out, would it do them more harm than good to stay at their first/second agency for an extended period (1yr +)?

I worry that recruiters will see me as stale or unmotivated if I stay at my agency more than my current handful of months, but actually, I just don’t think I’ve got the most out of them yet. I’m yet to work on any portfolio-worthy creative, but I get the feeling the agency want to challenge me more as time goes on.

Are managers expected to take on more work than their reports? I feel like I’ve seen a few strategy team leads who end up doing more projects than their team, on top of their leadership role. What are the factors that contribute to this?

Question for people in their 40s:
How are you doing finically? What do your savings and retirement look like?

I’m about to exit my 30s so curious how things are looking for people who haven’t been aged out of the business.

Are agencies still hiring people on O1’s? Asking for a friend.

Do agencies match your salary if you get an offer from another agency? I am in the final interview process with another agency with not an amazing salary increase ($10k) I was wondering if agencies can afford paying some more money to keep you if you are an integral part of an account with extremely high turnover.

Context: Entry level planner position with 1 year experience, $45k salary.

Thanks everyone!

Offered two roles with a big media agency in NYC - Which role is better?

Social Trader or Programmatic Trader. - Both are entry level.

Could someone provide me with insight into the roles and their potential career paths as well as pros and cons?

My priorities are high earnings potential and work life balance.

I have a meeting scheduled with the department lead to discuss this further, but I would like to go into it with as much information as possible.

thanks :)

Was ghosted by an agency after meeting with top CDs, top strategy director, and the MD of the office across four different meetings. Then silence…

I honestly don’t care about the role but I’m mad at the total lack of decency to leave me hanging.

Should I email them to ask for an explanation? Or is this just a sign that I dodged a bullet?

How is GE as a client? Just got hit up for a new position at an agency and they said that they would be my main client.

Anyone know which agencies are hiring ACD teams beyond the 4+ month old LinkedIn job posts? Asking for a friend, and their friend, which is me.

My boss said they were looking for younger (career wise not age) talent. “So they’d have a longer tenure on the team before hitting a career path ceiling .” So my position on the team was essentially going away… this seems like ageism/wanting cheaper labor doesn’t it? Also wtf about the career path ceiling comment?!!

Greetings! Any advice for landing a position at a high level ad agency in NY?

Tips on how to make a really good looking book? I have some really great work, but naturally chose a copy role because designing isn’t my fave. If anyone has site recommendations or helpful tips it’s greatly appreciated! 🙃

Does the pay for a promotion usually lag behind when you start doing the new job? Doing both jobs simultaneously until they fill former role, but confirmation letter says new salary effective in 2 weeks, reflected in pay a month from now.

Has anyone worked for Van Wagner? What position did you hold. Please share the good, the bad and the ugly.

Was contacted by Amazon for a creative role. I passed the first hurdle (the screener) and now up to the hiring manager phone interview but honestly not feeling the STAR method shenanigans and the 6 hour interview. Tbh it sounds like a cult… but a highly paid one 😐. Wwyd?

After interviewing with 12+ people and being told everyone loves me, got a verbal offer from recruiter. Then not even 12 hours later got told the offer was on “hold.” When I talked to her she said “yeah sorry this position doesn’t exist… we’re so sorry. We’re doing restructuring within the agency.” I’m like … what. Then I asked if that verbal offer was approved by mgmt. She said “that wasn’t an offer just an exploratory conversation!” After talking to everyone and her saying how excited she

I am leaving my current position soon - all of my keynote collabs are connected to my personal icloud account - not an agency one - I’ll still be able to access those when I leave correct?
