Hows working in creative at Snap?

My agency doesn’t submit for awards, and I’m not saying I’d win if they did. But as much as we say awards don’t matter, it feels like they do at a lot of places I’d like to eventually work.

Digital/integrated advertising is the future I hear. Any fishies here dreading it? I work for a mainline agency that’s now trying to position itself as an integrated agency and forcing us to write Instagram reels and posts. 😖 I was born 3 decades too late. *clutches The Copy Book tighter*

Why is it that when ever I look at “entry level” jobs in IT they always want 2-4 years of experience. It’s entry level that means maybe some certifications if they didn’t major in the field or a degree in the field. Not 2-4 years already working in the field. Can someone please explain this to me?
