A new ACD started recently. Any tips on how to work well together? It’s a new position, we only had one CD before

My team has no ACD/CD and no plans on hiring one. I feel like I’m not going to be able to grow without that level of creative leadership and my bosses don’t understand the need. What should I do?

Brand new CD, looking for advice on a rather specific situation: after 12 years in ads, I joined an in-house team as CD, my first time in that role and their first time hiring one, to lead a rebrand..

What would you charge as a monthly rate for an in-house CD gig in Florida? Insight: interviewed for a copywriter opening & upsold them. Now interested in test-running a CD role to sell idea to CEO.

CD’s and ECD’s - how important are awards when you’re hiring a creative? I am currently at an agency that has no interest in awards and despite what I’m doing outside of work to win some {cont}

I’m starting a new ECD job in two weeks. Feeling like an imposter. What do i need to do that’s different than being a CD? (The CCO is very involved so it’s probably closer to a GCD in role)

Do mid-level copywriters typically have any sort of influence in hiring? Meaning, can they put in referrals for junior level/intern applicants? Is it better to try and network with CD’s or CW’s?
