Anyone else have to deal with the account person having “final say” on creative decisions? Such as locations, props, etc for a photo shoot or font choice for titles in a video. 🙄🙄🙄

Ask if this person needs more stuff to do in their area of expertise. Because in no world should they have creative input that’s not related to strategy or sell-in techniques alone.

Yes, and it happened at a time when the agency was trying to innovate and reduce layers of approval (aka cost). Just put quotation marks around most of the previous sentence to imply irony / disgust. It doesn’t make for good work. It’s not how you keep creative talent in the building. It’s not how good work is done. Run, run for the hills.

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket?

Thoughts?

Hi Fishes,

I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

I’m sure this is not a unique situation, but would love y’all’s advice! I love my current agency and the work is easy and ngl it’s a big name and looks impressive on a resume. But, I’m currently being offered a new job at a small agency and the money is so so good, it would be a 60% raise and a title change. I’m so torn, I don’t want to risk what I currently have, but I’m so tempted… would you leave a good place for a ton of $$?
