It feels like we are in one already. At least in advertising.
Yep. Same. Been out of full time work for 10 long months until this last week. Same as some other friends in this biz. It’s been a crap year. Landed big freelance gig with tech company tho.
I dread what throwing an industry already in a self induced recession on top of a real recession will bring.
On the bright side the industry is already so lean and stripped down that it won't be as big of a change when it happens? Wishful thinking?
Hopefully nail in coffin for holding companies
🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
I’m unprepared. After getting laid off, the freelance world has been a merry-go-round. Lost most savings trying to help my spouse & this summer feel like I can’t get arrested. So I’m gonna find a good cardboard box under the Brooklyn bridge cuz that’s where I may be.
It’s a buying opportunity tbh
I do. But then I realize I have no control over it
This is exactly how things felt in 2008. Advertising is the canary in the coal mine. Recession is coming.
Yup. I've been trying to find a full-time position for 5 months now. No luck. 😔
Same
Advertising is one of the few industries that’s been going down since the rest of the country recovered from the great recession. The slide started happing right around when Facebook went public and started actively getting into the digital media game.
Only when followed by the word Trump
It’s a little scary but don’t dwell on it. Remember that the rest of the worlds’ economies are directly or indirectly backed by the U.S. Dollar, and the dollar is literally backed by nothing anymore except the perception of its own strength. Which means that when we feel a little economic discomfort, the rest of the world, especially the third world, feels pain. The market adjusts itself when necessary but the status quo will never be allowed to dramatically change. Advertising has become inextricably linked with 21st century life so the world will always need advertisers. The best you can do is continue honing your craft so if/when the belt gets tightened you’re someone who can’t be left behind.
