At my agency...

CDs are ADs and CWs
ADs are designers
Designers are human mouse cursors
C-suite is accounts
Accounts are PMs
PMs are assistant AMs
Strategists are media
Media are junior PMs

I had an account person stand behind me and watch me design and then asked if she could just have my mouse for a second to fix something. Help

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.

Does anyone else feel a hollownees with their lives?

We create targets for ourselves, then race to chase them down. Be it for a better career, money or a much higher standard of living. But I guess our youth pays a price for it. Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.
