Hi! I found a research strategy role at a large agency in SF but I’m scared I won’t get to be creative. Does anyone have experience with moving between brand and research strategy? Can you offer some advice?

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.

Who feels like they're excellent at managing people? I do not, and know it's an area I need to work on. Creative chops are finessed, but I landed in this role full speed ahead and constant refinement on management style seems necessary. Any sage words of wisdom or resources?

Hi friends! I'm relatively new at an awards competition company. I just found out my boss is leaving to pursue a creative director role somewhere else. I still have a lot to learn in this position but I'm confident that I can step up to the plate and fill in where my boss left off. However, I'm not so sure the rest of my team shares that same confidence in me... Any advice/tips on how I can really prove myself to people/company?

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?

I'm working at an agency that doesn't have the ACD role. On paper that means I'm a Sr. Creative. That said I was an ACD at my previous agency, I'm being paid like an ACD now, and the role is that of an ACD.

Got two offers. A project manager position at a creative agency and a Fintech company. Pay level -creative agency pays only $2000 less but Fintech company clearly states it's a mid senior project manager role whereas the creative agency role doesn't. Does one position look better on resume for next role or it doesn't matter as job and salary is the same. Creative agency will always be fully remote which is nice to reduce daycare and commute and Fintech maybe hybrid once things open up more.

I’m trying to make the jump from agency > platform (not FB…more like Spotify or Twitter etc.). I work with reps at these places as part of my job, but technically their loyalty is to my clients (the ones spending $ on their platform), not to me, working at the client’s creative agency. So it feels weird asking them for a recommendation or referral, but that would obviously be easier than applying on the jobs site... How do I utilize my “network” without making things awkward?
