I just got a call about a position at KPMG to be a Creative Writer that is part of advisory in a new “creative pod.” They say it’s cross functional, a part of consulting, and client facing, but it’s labeled as a creative writer? Not sure if this is a job I should take because on paper it looks like a demotion. Anyone have more insights into this role? Does anyone know why it’s labeled as “creative writer” and not just an analyst since its cross-functional?

I am a lawyer (based in the UK) and have been practising for 15+ years (financial services/banking). I love being a lawyer but I would also love to do something more creative or more independent. Has anyone moved from law into another role or has anyone done something more creative alongside their full time legal career? I’m feeling a bit stuck!

What does a creative resource manager do? I just got hired at a big agency. I met my team, including my partner and my CD & ECD, who hired me. But later in the day someone stop by at my desk & said he is a creative resource manager & my supervisor who gives me assignments & approve my time offs. During my hiring process & orientation day everyone said my CD is my supervisor who assign me projects & approve my time offs. Did he do a Power move on me? I will be nice but didn’t like the attitude!

Month 2 in an in-house ECD role. I’m responsible for all work for my company but I have amazing creative agencies making the work. My job is the make sure strategy and creative approach are on point and then shepherd the work. And to find ways to bring everyone together to collaborate. It’s weird to not be the pure creative person but so far finding lots of joy in it. Just want creatives to know there are lots of new opportunities beyond typical creative roles. And there’s great money in it.

I had a really weird interview for Creative Director today.

It’s a small startup. HR interviewed me and asked all the hard hitting questions (how do you get design inspiration, how do you deal with design roadblocks, what sets you apart for this role?) which I thought was odd for a screening interview.

They made some affirmative noises then said the next step would be a design test (one pager) which I would present to a panel of interviewers including the CMO.
Anyone else think this is odd?
