Eh I don’t feel bad for you guys. “Art director” is such a lofty title. Can I be a copy director?

I feel your pain, only for the fact that I can’t make a concept “sing” like a copywriter, art side ACD here. I will say this, I’ve pushed myself to learn how to craft sentiments. As an ACD, although I’m not leaned on for copy, feeling what you feel, I have made it a point to draft up concepts to the best of my ability, if only for my own practice. Many times I will take that draft, and ask a copywriter to bring it more to life. That said, your title should be respected. Art Directors are not “just” design, they establish a look and feel and concept. Be proud, and take a stab at writing up the sentiment of your concepts. 💪🏻👊🏻

Hi! This is not 100% salary-related, but your feedback would be helpful. I was contacted by a recruiter from Pyramid Consulting Inc for a HRG position, although the agreement to represent and job posting both say HRBP2. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience working as a contractor with Pyramid. A few hours after they contacted me, I received a communication from a very similar company, Akraya, Inc., for the same exact position. I just want to make sure Pyramid is a reputable company.
