Does Omnicom have a hiring freeze? Is the below scenario typical of OMG or is this a red flag?

After interviewing at an OMG agency, I received verbal confirmation immediately afterwards that they’d like to move forward with an offer, but need finance approvals. This was 2 weeks ago though, and still no official offer.

That said, the recruiter has been responsive towards me, and hasn’t ghosted me but wondering what the reason could be for the delay.

Paid Social Manager interview tips or resources? I’ve been at an agency for awhile now and I have a brand side interview this week. I really really want this job and there’s no doubt in my mind that I can do it (I realize all candidates feel the same way) but I feel like I’m queen of making it through final round interviews and not getting chosen. I know all of the standard tips but if anyone has any advice for specifically this field or position, or any advice, I’d love to hear it!

So I’m starting to feel like I’m not at the right agency/role/accounts. I’d like to move on, but really haven’t done anything book worthy. Should I just create more spec work and network my ass off? I’m worried I am getting pigeon-holed as a designer when I want to be doing more conceptual work

Is the hiring process for an Advertising Agency different from other companies?

I interviewed for one today and by the end of the zoom interview she already asked me to send 3 references. She told me she would like me to meet the team by the end of month. I’m asking because I’ve been interviewing for different companies and their process seems to involve a few interviews rounds before asking for references. I’m not from the US so this is new for me.

Just had a recruiter reach out with a creative director position at a WPP agency that I like, but it’s for a global tobacco account. Do accounts like this pay more, especially if they’re having difficulty filling this spot? What could you reasonably ask for? Or, does this recruiter keep looking till someone finally bites for the banded salary rate? Thanks.

What's the best way to reach out to a company that doesn't have posted roles that you want, but their site says to e-mail them? Is it just a simple "Hi, my name is ____, I have xyz background and I'm looking for this role? Here's my resume" type of deal or is there more to it? Instead of saying the type of role, would you instead go over the skills you have and ask to chat about where you may fit in?

I’m looking for a hybrid, senior-level media role at a NYC agency. After working in a smaller market for years, I’d love some inside scoop on what agencies are recommended.

I have the opportunity to either be an ACD at an agency that does exactly what I’d like to do but requires an international move back to the US and another that’s a CD role at a social agency that allows me to stay where I am now and continue exploring Europe for a bit longer. If I took the CD social agency job, would it be hard to get hired afterwards?

Fall Internship at Vayner (that would likely lead to full time later) or Full time role at MRM?

Thoughts on Denver Ad School for copywriting? Have considered learning this as a producer or possibly trying to lateral into a creative role.

How much is too much when pushing for a raise? I’ve been in my position a little over 1 year, received top scores in my annual review, kept my team intact, yet I’m paid at the lowest salary band for my level.

Woahh, This is next level rejection reply.
I must be a boomer.

Anyone have experience making a lateral move within your agency from one department to another, where there is some overlap in skills but different responsibilities? How did you bring this up to your boss? How did you prove you could excel in the new role when it’s not the same as your current role? If you tried to lateral and didn’t get the new role, was your relationship with your team soured?

I started a few months back as a budget analyst and really enjoy what I do daily with client budget management.
