You’re kidding, right? There’s a reason agency creatives go brand-side.

Between the open bar parties and happy hours I probably consume more than my salary could pay for.

Brand side is lighter but you have to deal with the brain numbing months of spinning on the same one project lol

The hours may be more reasonable, but the politics and stress of getting your projects approved and sponsored by the right people can be just as stressful and exhausting.

Brand side workloads are definitely picking up but still not quite at agency craziness. When you factor in the comp difference there’s really no comparison….

Brand side was a heavier workload for me.

Idk about the comments here, but the offers I’m getting from brand side isn’t even close to the compensation offered by agency side.

Yes, hours and workload can be more but I’m liking the pace.

Note: I’ve only worked at large holding companies, not small, boutique agencies.

I’m on the brand side and the workload for me is insane. Prob because the place I work for is doing the in house agency approach. It’s a lot and it’s fast.

Additional Posts in Brand Side

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
