Background: 2 YOE in consulting with CPG clients (acted as PM, Testing or Training/OCM Lead) , previous experience in Analytics (SQL, R). Looking for an exit where I can focus on the big picture & the details, own something from start to finish and also be creative (great creative writer, social media content curator, graphic design). Any ideas on best fit?

Thoughts? How is this fair to ADs when CWs still only need to know how to write? Agreed that ANY well rounded creative is more valuable, but the road to a CCO position is different for an AD vs a CW

After working 15 months on a big project, I was replaced by another creative who finished producing it. Dream client. Dream content. I was never told this was happening. The project just kept rolling on and I was not invited to the meetings. The company recently released the work and everyone is fawning over it. Much of the concept is the same, which I had a key role in. Due to Covid it was packaged differently, but still the same messaging. I’m so angry. but not sure I have the right. 😖

The main client for this position is pharma but you’ll have access to a bunch of other projects too. Starting remote but need to be in Miami at some point when life is normal again. Hmu!

Why is it that whether you’re in agency world, or creative in any capacity, we’re expected to do more work? Longer hours, crazier hours, higher expectations for creatives than any other role. Is it because if you’re not a creative, you don’t understand the insane intricacies of what goes into making great work, so expectations from accounts and clients is too much? Do we do this to ourselves? Are we wired differently? Am I playing victim? Is this reality? Is this our fate? Can’t do this forever.
