Don't do it. Especially if it's an unknown place.

Depends on the agency. Resolution is pretty reputable and is technically part of Omnicom. The independent ones are hit or miss

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober?

Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential. So, they didnt get ANY press (just like two articles from random websites). Fast forward and Im at another agency, thinking that now more than ever, that idea could be done better. Is it fair game?
