Been working for a small (~15 employees) agency since graduating in 2021. Despite our size, we have several household name clients. Beyond the owner, I'm the second "highest" employee & lead our largest accounts.

I want to move to a bigger pond & have the skills to execute there, but I'm really struggling in this job market. Been networking my butt off, but I feel my agency's lack of status is hurting me, esp as more big agency candidates are (sadly) on the job hunt after layoffs. Any advice?

As I am close to finishing Deep Work, I am thinking about how to apply its strategies in my own work. Deep Work sounds like I can reduce my overall time spent at work by 25-50% because of all the extra gobbly goo that goes on in corporate bloat. Has anyone done that? What are your thoughts on deep work methods?

- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy. I lead PR for all of U.S. & have no other PR colleagues. My agency’s budget is 100k/year & they’re spread too thin to hit their KPIs. I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?
