@group copy supe....pharma is probably the lowest of low. Regularly settling for falsely marketing drugs, using orphan drug loopholes to gain undeserved monopolies and driving prices up. Spending more on lobbying, legal costs and marketing than actual r&d. Idencentivising Drs to prescribe their drugs vs others that may be better. Working with insurance companies to provide kickbacks to pharmacies so many people and rurual areas have to drive hours just to get a monthky RX. Conflating false sense od knowledge to consumers to demand name brand drugs vs take dr recommendations. The list goes on. All of the top 5 spending pharma companies have been involved in at least 1 $200-$900M settlements for illegally, knowingly using false or misleading marketing in just the past 3 years.
I’d rather flip burgers at McD than pharma. No fucking way I’d be able to live with myself working on that crap.
What has surprised me is how when you spend time with big Fortune500 clients, no matter the region. Most of them are moderates, if not fully liberal.
Go client side. Lots of places with a lot better mission than the normal brands. Google, Lyft, Spotify, Airbnb etc.

Tell me one client that does not freak out when they find their ads running on Brietbart. To @EVPs point, very few clients are openly non moderate/liberal. There is a big difference between being part of a capitalistic economy vs. being conservative in social values. Also, “moving society forward” is incredibly subjective. One can argue you move society forward by cutting big businesses’ taxes to improve margins which then create jobs and grow more middle class economy.
Shocked to see SVP and EVP sticking up for the multi-national corporations 🙄
AdCouncil and 72 seem to be doing actual good work with a cause.
Most clients are corporations and corporations only care about shareholder return. That being the case, most clients’ values and beliefs will conflict with our own.
Just saying very few agencies can turn down business on anything outside of he lost extreme ideology. Doesn't mean you have to work for the NRA/Koch Bros. But you may find some pretty capitalistic clients, you know... trying to market to consumers and everything.

Enso.

Made Movement in Boulder is sort of like this. They only do work that will create US jobs.
SS+K used to be like this. Not sure if they still are. Check their website?

What is that even? Group copy supervisor?? Do you just hover around and look over writers’ shoulders and read legal copy all day?
OBERLAND is great for this
Go pharma. You'll make more money and can at least tell yourself that you're doing something good for others.
Strategic Planner 1, have you worked at/with Enso? Have been following them for a while.
