As a marketing/advertising professional, what is ONE thing you took from the 2025 NFL SuperBowl that deals with marketing and advertising? For me - and it’s not new - it is the commercialization of Black culture by major corporations looking for our community’s time and dollars. Again, it’s not new, but a reminder in my eyes.

Everyone and every agency and every brand hopes their concept is totally unique. Then you watch all of those “unique” ads in one sitting, and realize that everyone ended up with some variation of “isn’t facial hair funny?” or “celebrity!” and it’s all the same in the end.

Ding ding. This is it right here. No one is really unique anymore and it’s infecting all creative outlets.

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads. When ever I try to build a strategy, they (founders) swamp me with blablabla stories and not a single action plan. Is this the usual at startups? Also,no real company culture. At all. No HR. I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Looking for advice (& empathy): Started out in advertising, then became a journalist. Moved to the US for grad school, and back to advertising few years ago. Now stuck at a company where I’m deeply unhappy but they sponsor the visa (not H1B, so it’s not a huge ask). Also not too sure of advertising as my heart is still in journalism but this pays the bills. Wary of other companies that might push me into working (most) weekends and evenings +Still don’t fully understand the US job market. Tips?
