Anyone have any experience working at Carat? I had an initial interview this week and seems like a cool place. What are the people like? What are your thoughts on the clients and work? Thanks! 🙏 Carat Dentsu

When I was there it was solid but leadership was relatively elderly which has consequences if you’re looking at anything future-facing / digital. Snacks were great. Definitely a solid spot to hang out at for a while if that’s what you’re looking for, forward progression might be slow depending on what channel you’re looking at

I was also in media buying working on ABI. Definitely a lot of overtime and some tough days comparatively but I think that’s purely client-dependent and you might get into a cozier niche than I found

I liked Dentsu. I’ve been at five agencies and it was my favorite. But it all depends on the brand and team you’re on. They’re also struggling right now.

It’s with Carat! They have quite a few different accounts. I’m just unsure which one I’d be placed with. What do you mean by struggles?

Worked on paid social a couple of years back - loved it initially but there were some toxic a-holes that managed to get promoted and make everyone’s lives a misery, so ended up leaving for a better opportunity elsewhere

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
