This is pretty broad... they’re two different states. Charleston, Greenville, Columbia, Rock Hill are all SC and Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, and Winston-Salem are all NC. They all have different markets, agencies, corporations nearby

I lived and worked in Charlotte for a while, and i was always trying to get hired at Wray Ward. BooneOakley too, but it seems like they run a pretty tight ship (hardly ever any new hires). Tattoo Projects generated a bit of buzz, but they were notorious for poor work-life balance and scary partners.

McKinney. There’s not much to choose from though.

I wouldn’t call their partners scary. Rudy is the shit and a ton of fun. But they just expect the minions to run things while they do whatever they do away from the office

EP+Co has added new AOR with some of the most iconic brands in the US over the past year. John Deere, Morgan Stanley, Lowe’s, 20th Century Fox (including Deadpool) and added Global Social AOR for LinkedIn.

If I am not mistaken we were also named to 2019 AdAge A-List. Something none of those other shops can claim.

Go where the growth and creative is.

Hi Everyone! Between corona and snowstorms, “real life” is seeming as far off as anything else. Curious to hear what some people are doing to keep their employees engaged? Zoom happy hours are dead.. we did a few “virtual contests” (i.e., everyone submitted a pic of themselves dressed up for Halloween, allowing former years as entries, and made a slide show for voting the winner), but I’d like to go a little bigger. Suggestions??

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
