Advertising friends, why aren’t there more feeder programs for business affairs. It seems there is a major hiring boom for this role at the moment and nobody to fill them.

The challenge is finding some one interested in the role and training. Most agencies want experience and those in the biz start to age out. Producers should spend time in the role of learning. One day they may be without or the role will be taken over by finance dept. I was a producer for many years...now working in BA...job security and call from recruiters regularly. We are a necessary dying breed.

Exactly. Plus I’m never given the opportunity to hire juniors to train (even if I could find any). I have had difficulty just keeping my small team because Account folks doing the staffing plans don’t understand what we do and how important it is. I have to fight for us every day.

My fiance works in biz affairs, seems like you can start off in it without a background and learn as you go. Or rather there is at least still the belief you can train people on the job vs forcing them through portfolio schools like creatives because you don't want to/can't teach them basics as a junior anymore.

I was actually a producer and my role morphed into business affairs. Learning on the job was actually extremely stressful and difficult, there were very few learning resources available publicly for the role and the burden went to the senior manager to train me. It is NOT a role where mistakes should be made either. You can start off without a background but it’s not super easy .

What is business affairs? We don’t have anyone with that title at my agency.

It is more commonly seen in tandem with production and broadcast work. Best way to describe it is the intersection between legal, finance, talent and rights management.

How realistic is it to go from no computer science degree, to getting Salesforce certs and an admin role?

Thoughts?
