As someone who comes from a very stuffy and square corporate industry, I love how stylish people can be in advertising. Its very open ended and everyone can choose to express their own creativity (or not at all lol). Maybe it's something you take for granted but it's such an exciting breath of fresh air for me! I love my creatives. 🥹

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself.

- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
