M fish - is there anyway to defer an offer for medical reasons? I expect not but just curious. Have had a wholly unexpected situation arise and am slated to start in 6 weeks.

Hi all.
I’d like to eventually make the jump to production company side from agency. Have about 10 years experience. Recommended? Can it be done? Anything I should know from folks that have made the switch? Thanks in advance.

Looking for suggestions on qualifications I should pursue.

I'm a Junior Project Manager, pivoting myself into the consulting industry. I have a Business Analysis Foundation certificate and considering pursuing Prince 2 Foundation and Practitioner.

Is Prince 2 worth it for my long term goals? And how valuable is it? Is there other qualifications worth pursuing e.g. Prince 2 Agile?

TIA

Has anyone invested in a company that you know was initially started as a RollOver as a Business Startup (ROBS) or a ROBS holding?
I am looking at this as an incubator model to avoid interest payments and other forms of initial capitalization.
I understand the level of risk and the objections some have for ROBS.

So I get interviewed and they keep me in a queue for a month. Then call me to tell me that I was selected.

Remind me why they got rid of Greg Hahn in the first place? Too expensive?

Time to hire—I've seen dozens of fledgling lists/databases of available creative talent & diverse talent. Which ones are people actually using?

Looking for senior designers that knows shopper marketing. Please DM with books!

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Alright. What do you guys think of awards? Think they’re dumb? Think the entire process is stupid?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

Any good public strategy resources to learn about Gen-Z?

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.

I find it insane that recruiters have been calling me on Teams. How is that ok and not seen as disruptive?

Looking to learn more about the people behind the agencies. Could anyone tell me who’s actually driving the best work at:

-Martin
-Goodby Silverstein

Feel free to call out any top talent from an agency not listed above.
