If Arya Stark from GOT worked in advertising, she would be a strategist...

For those that didn't make it thru their
MBB interviews and were told to reapply in a year, what point did you start studying again? Did you take a couple months off or still practice throughout?

Are there any scholarship opportunities or aid available to students taking the PMP? My university does not have any and I’m interested in taking the exam. TIA

Hi everyone,

I have 3 years of experience in developing apps/microservices using Java, spring boot, spring security, spring cloud, Google cloud platform, docker, kubernetes, MERN stack and Vue Js. How much can I expect based on above tech skills and my experience?
My current CTC is 6lpa.

Thanks.

Our tiny team’s designer has left so we’ll need to find a contract designer for a billboard we need to launch in Jan/Feb. We have 3 concepts we’d like to explore. How much should my budget be? Company’s based in California but open to talented designers anywhere.

How does your agency/team strike that balance between pulling in people, including specialists, to collaborate on work without having just a herd in every meeting?

Dear Creative Directors who’s only talent is showing up to meeting with a full repertoire of buzzwords, die slow. Thanks, everyone.

I always seem to have plenty of free time when I do client visits in shitty places but send me somewhere actually fun and I’m in meetings all goddamned day.

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Client removes all copy in ads re: product description or product benefits due to pending legal review. Removes visuals of product doing its job. Blames agency that ads aren’t driving traffic/sales

How do we measure OOH these days? Anybody?

I don’t know what’s scarier: the thought of spending another 40 years making decks I don’t care about or the thought of being aged out of this industry in the next five.

“Can we change all the instances of ‘we’ in the script to be [our brand name]? Just to remind my listener who we are throughout.” 🙄

Practical advice on how to deal with a mansplaining colleague?? 🙄

What's better: in-house / client-side, or agency? Why?

How is VMLY&R New York team ? Saw an open position for an Art Director. Any referral for the same?

What agency is doing the new Twizzler ads?

CDs. How many brands do you look after? Trying to find out if I'm stretched too thin, or not thin enough.

How do you go about asking for more money when you were recently given a raise, but the person directly above you leaves the agency, so you’ll be taking some of their responsibility?

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

Why do some art directors only really start looking at stuff at the 11th hour? Thus forcing people to stay late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend.
