Anyone ever wondered what their God given purpose is when working at an agency? Just genuinely curious of your thoughts

My purpose is the same everywhere and not dependent on where I work. I don’t think God is concerned with where I work. He’s concerned about who I am when I’m here.

Agency people are just people.

I would recommend the book Garden City as well. Our purpose is to be a light in the darkness. No matter what job we do we need to do it to the best of our abilities as worship to the Lord, and be a model for those we interact with every day.

I recommend reading “Every Good Endeavor” by Tim Keller, great book to help find God’s purpose in our work.

You’d be surprised how powerful a good example is. Be the difference. Live the gospel. Treat people well. Honor others. Stand up for what is right, even when it isn’t popular.

This industry like any other is one that needs Christ. We're all called to ministry and to be a channel of blessing. Doing good. Being good, and relying on Christ to lead our lives in obedience is how we can steward the resources we are given. Being a good worker, being creative, creating margins at our workplace, they're all ways to reflect God and be a blessing..who would want to become a Christian if we're terrible workers? Daniel and his friends went to Babylon and were paragons of excellence while being culture makers. We can do the same in this industry. Blessings

Yes OP to inspire unbelievers to believe. Sometimes the only hint of God people have is the Christ they see in you and your actions - that is the Mercy of God bringing Himself to all. Advertising was considered to be one of the most untrustworthy professions (being kind here) and I asked myself why here...and then I realized...

Hi everyone, share your blindsided layoff stories below so I can feel a little bit better about mine.

Covered a managers meeting for her yesterday, was with some senior members of the marketing team. A director opens the call with “we are so sorry about the impacts the layoffs have had on your teams today…” then noticed I was in the call and said “we are still notifying others so best to keep it under the radar” …25% of my team was let go three hours later with no warning😬
