Don't obsess about your environment. Obsess over being a good person and the work and you'll land in the right place.
Couldn’t agree more with AD1. If you’re doing what you love and comfortably sustaining yourself with the proper salary, who gives a shit about being a WK or Droga?
OP, droga autocorrects to "derogatory" on my phone. Coincidence?
As a creative it's all about the work. At those top shops you'll have a better chance at creating great work because they have a culture and values that support great work. But at most major agencies if you can align yourself with the right accounts and the right teams you can create good work. I mean LB Chicago created ostrich, that's not work you'd expect to come out of LB, or the Midwest.
Same boat, OP. It's hard not to stress about it when you have so many people telling you how you're supposed to be 😣
Leo?! You're at Leo? Don't let the labels drive you. Yes, we are all about brands and doing what is best for our agencies and those brands. If we can't do right by either, it's time to switch jobs. I always feel for people who think the grass is greener on the other side and hope they can find it. This is a hard industry so I just try to do my best work among the nicest and smartest people and hope we do something we can be proud of. Hang in there and make as many positive connections as you can 💖
It's all about the work. And those agencies champion the work. Most agencies have a high creative turn over. But at those agencies, account executives have a higher turn over than creatives.
