Anybody else tired of brands jumping on cultural memes/events and then thinking they totally crushed it? Example, Mikes Hard Lemonade doing a video with the lawyer who recently went viral for accidentally using a cat filter on his zoom call. Aren’t we beyond these type of gimmicks yet?

Just installed UE5, add game developer to the list.

I know there are multiple posts about this but I still can’t think of the right way to play United Wholesale Mortgages. Too nervous to sell covered calls with the ex div date and high OI for calls in March. Anyone considered averaging down?

Do you ever buy bottles to hold/age them and resell?

Would really appreciate your input on this.

Unpopular opinion on flattening the curve: ok we all know we need to extend the tail at the end... how bout that tail at the beginning? I mean I'm in a midwest city where cases are hardly [cont]

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement! It was great until the candidate wants to renegotiate the base and benefits after the current company counter-offered when the candidate no longer sees the future. Any tips on what to say to bring back to focus? The current role is a Sr. Acct Receivable (less than 2yr) and going into collections specialist at a global law firm.

There’s now a lawsuit in Texas challenging PREP. How much longer do y’all plan to live in the US? This is actually how I predicted this would unfold. That folks with moral objections would file a lawsuit like this, and then get it up to The Church for review, and then overturn Lawrence v Texas. This is just happening a lot faster than I thought.

Networks have mobilized & documented opportunities - see doc in comments

How long does your agency usually give your creative teams to concept new campaign ideas before the first internal review?

Are there any NYC ad agencies that have flexible remote WFH policies or is everyone required to be in the office a few days a week?

What's your policy on 'cold-call' messages from hopefuls asking for tips, advice, help? 😇 or 😈

Thoughts on CP+B Boulder? What is the vibe like there? Who are the clients?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Retail, Social, Pharma. Fuck, Marry, Kill....

Looking for ideas to replace the drinks or office goodies we normally give out (Halloween, Christmas, July 4, Valentines etc., plus random “fun stuff”) – we’ve done a few virtual happy hours but obviously everyone has had more than enough of Zoom at this stage! We’re all sticking within our immediate teams for informal catch ups - any ideas that involve the whole agency?

@Long-time creative freelancers, please enlighten the masses about why you might make a better staff hire than say, someone with nearly all staff role experience. Help clear up this weird prejudice.

Strange as it sounds, I'm kinda gonna miss quarantine life.
