Love seeing Anomaly on the a-list talking about their 40% growth in revenue after massive layoffs. People forget how deeply in debt MDC partners is.

They deserve it for avoiding the holdco sale alone. Pioneering a new model of getting rich for the rest of us.

This year was much less of a train wreck than last year.

But yeah, still a few questionable calls on there. The agency that did that universally hated Olay super bowl spot made the honorable mentions🤷‍♂️

It has 700 likes on YouTube and 7,000 dislikes. It also ranked near dead last on the USA Today Admeter and was openly mocked on Twitter for days.

I’m sure the clients were tough, but it was a big miss, even outside of our industry.

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

My agency doesn’t submit for awards, and I’m not saying I’d win if they did. But as much as we say awards don’t matter, it feels like they do at a lot of places I’d like to eventually work. How difficult is it to submit on my own? Or am I better off finding a place that does submit and is willing to hire me without awards?
