I am a designer that has been taking classes and reading about brand strategy. I would like to position myself into a role that makes more money. Do you think this could be considered an “art director”? Or what are some possible routes I can go with this set of skills design/strategy?

Possibly moving to San Francisco within my agency network. What’s the salary range for CD? 3 years in the role, 13 in the industry, worked in UK and Australia, some recent awards (D&AD etc). Seeing ranges from 150 to 200. Also, position is not a CD amongst others at the same level, it’s a head of department role (if that makes any difference). Any input or thoughts welcomed.

How can I pivot from working as an ad agency art director to a commercial director/DP? I’m trying to get on as much commercial production experience as possible in my current role to build up experience. I’m also doing a lot of side projects - I have a couple shorts in some no name festivals and am getting better on each project. My original thought was to work my way up to Creative Director and pivot from there but I’m not sure if that’s the correct route. Any advice is appreciated!!

I'm in an interesting position. I got an offer for an Associate manger (level 8) role at a tier 2 firm. I asked if bumping it up to level 7 (Manager) role is an option, and was basically told that it is if I really want to, but I should be careful what I wish for. SM basically told me that he thinks I will be a lot better set up for success in the long run if I were to start at level 8.

What are your thoughts? I would be coming from a large ad agency where I'm an Account Director.

Seeking advice. I work in fashion as a Creative Producer and I'm looking to transition to a PM or Digital Producer role with an AD agency to get more experience. I haven't been able to land a PM role because I'm lacking agency experience and no one seems to want to train a newbie. Should I take a pay cut (possibly entry level role) for an opportunity to get the digital experience I need? Would love some feedback!

Hi all, I’ve been the In-House Designer for an organization for the last 5+ years. Being the only designer and one of two marketing guys, I’ve had to do all tasks extensively.

Hi fishies 🐠 I’m an Art Director that’s trying to transition over to UX Design. I have experience building websites and some previous freelance work doing some UI/UX. What’s the best route to transition over and would I need to apply for entry level roles? Does an AD role with a UI/UX focus even exist? I enjoy the thinking of UX design and am comfortable designing interfaces but I’m mostly unsure of the process of working with an UX team. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I’m in production at a small creative content shop (mostly tv network promos and some consumer brands). Thinking about pivoting and going for Account Director jobs. I’m the POC for all clients. No account team so I do project scoping, budgeting, scheduling and BD as well as produce. I love the client interaction and helping turn their goals into reality. I hate biz dev but maybe because of how it’s run here. Can you talk me into or out of an AD role? Looking in Wash DC so smaller agency market.

Been an art director for 12 months but grown in my role significantly & my boss told me my next promo was “political”. I’m managing well over 1.5M a year, 9 brands. Functioning with little to no oversight on a day-to-day basis, w/ only strategy checkins with my CD. 100% client facing. I’m managing 1 direct report and from 2-8 copy and art freelancers at any time. I feel like all my stretch goals are ACD focused. Yet still need SAD before ACD. Does this sound like an art director?

Would you leave TAS M&A FDD for a corporate finance FP&A role?

FP&A role is directly reporting to the CFO with heavy modelling and will have a few sprinkles of corporate strategy ad hoc projects. This role is also roughly a 20% pay increase.

Is this a good move? Not really sure what my ultimate goal is in life, for the purposes of this I would say I’m interested in both paths equally. Does switching to FP&A now bare me from returning to the M&A industry in the future?

TIA

Just received my contract for a 12 month contract role and it says I have to give them 2 months notice if I want to break the contract? Previous contract work has always been max 2 to 4 weeks.

Only wanted to take it because I’ve been out of a job for 2 months and thought I’ll keep looking whilst having this.
