Floating- love it or hate it?
Just signed the outside employment form in KPMG onboarding system. I actually wanted to start dabbling in creative writing as a potentially monetizable hobby, but I'm guessing this may pose issues.
Definitely interested in the "exception from this policy may be requested if provision of non-professional services doesn't interfere with one's duties of causes conflict of interest" clause, though. Has anyone been able to get one of those before?

I used to work at A23. Most of the “creative” work is spec, pro bono, etc. I’d like to work on OTC brands or categories that don’t require too much clinical language. That is a torture to me 😪

They are not. There’s a lot of limitations. I just want to sell products to consumers, not saving lives. That’s what doctors are for.
Klick! Independent agency that actually sticks to their employee first mantra, which is easy to do when you don’t answer to a greedy holding company.

I know. I joined them because I thought the daily work was going to be exciting. I left as soon as I could. Most of the creative work is fake.

Yeah. I was so impressed with their creative work and when I met Tim and some CDs I decided to join... I didn’t knew what a CVA was and that it takes 1 to 2 years to make a stupid brochure. It was a nightmare.
The best work Area 23 has ever done is take a few wins and convince you all that they’re the non-pharma pharma agency. Yes, they’ve done some great work, no question, but its select teams. The majority of the work is as pharma as everything else.
Langland does impressive work and has a NY office, but I'm not sure if there's any creative branch there of if they're all UK.
They work in a very niche area of healthcare.
I’ve never worked there, but i interviewed at 21 Grams and they seem creatively ambitious.
H&S is currently actively pursuing a path of creative expansion. While we’re really proud of our history and our well-known medical bonafides, we’re under new creative leadership, and they are determined to shake things up. Message me directly if you want to talk.
