It was a rewarding experience and I learned a ton, but in the end, I was let go because my copywriting just wasn't up to scratch anymore.

🤡

No wonder, though—I spent 80% of my time learning about platforms, sales, and video editing! It was a startup, not a big company, so I was wearing a lot of hats.

I wouldn’t stay more than a year or two if you plan on going back to an agency (unless you’re getting book work out of it). If you don’t care about having something to show for it, I find in-house to be much chiller. Some places keep marketing and creative somewhat separate and that gives you a better chance of making cool stuff IMO.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
