Biggest surprise in ad awards history?

RSM has been showing interest. Can any former EY workers speak to how transitioning to RSM has been for them? How’s it been? Was it worth it? Any insight is helpful.

Curious as to how other small firm owners are handling transition to have employees work from home? I employ several older paralegals who cannot seem to get themselves set up. Prefer not to lay off.

Looking for non- fiction book recommendations. I just read Shoe Dog and loved it.

Recently received feedback that I’m too “transactional”. I take on my tasks, get them done, and take on new ones without ever enjoying the “little things”. Basically I’m a machine but don’t show enough emotion. Can anyone relate and/or coach me how to resolve this?

Does anyone work at a firm where legal assistants don't do legal assistant things? For example, I have to do my scheduling and calendaring. I have to upload documents to our file management system. This morning, a name partners assistant didn't realize the name partner had a depo and didn't confirm it. This is how this firm as been for decades and it's incredibly frustrating to work this way. It's so hard to not stress over this daily.

New pet peeve: A cta that says “KNOW MORE.” I just hear some strategist saying “research shows people dont want to see more, or learn more. They want to KNOW for certain. They want to.... know.... more.... than their friends.” Oooh the face I imagine saying all this is so punchable

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?

Do you feel it’s appropriate for a non-Latinx/Hispanic Producer to ideate or create a Spanish US/Domestic ad for the Latinx audience?
(ie Spanish spot running on Univison for Walmart) **Not referring to LATAM ads**

Here’s to hoping the start of the new Serena Lincoln navigator ad is the end of the Mathew mcconaughey Lincoln Navigator ads

Most beautiful places to escape within three hours' driving of NYC? Forests, lakes, ocean, camping.

What is with potential employers asking if I have kids? This is the third time this year it’s happened. Doesn’t everyone know it’s illegal, discriminatory, and potentially EXTREMELY insensitive/offensive depending what my experiences may be, which they have no idea?

Funny to see how men are trying to post shit about DMA...

Thoughts and best practices on sharing examples of strategy work to a hiring manager at an agency under the same holding company as my current agency? How much should I blind the work? What are some rules to remain legally compliant? Or should I avoid altogether?

At my current agency 6 mos and realized I’m burnt out on ad. My coworker’s wife started at what sounds like my dream job a few months ago. Is it okay to ask for an informational interview through him?
