Build-A-Partner:

My ECD is currently recruiting a new AD partner for me and I get to have input!
What are some qualities and skills that you think make a great partner? Obviously everyone has different needs, but I could use a starting point!

Seems silly, but you should hit it off in your 1st chat. Also, look at his/her portfolio and dig their style.

Some may poo poo this but I find it important for your partner to be in the same stage of life as you, or at least have a similar lifestyle. For example, as a woman with small kids, it’s helpful that my partner has small kids and understands when I need to pause work or have a morning to myself for family upkeep. Not a golden rule, but one I keep for myself.

What do you find is most useful, productive, inspiring for you when you develop ideas? This person should complement you and challenge you in your gap areas (weaknesses) and make your strengths even stronger. Do an honest assessment of what’s worked for you and not in your career. Only you can create this spec. And great that your ECD is asking you this and not imposing a person on you.

Honesty and kindness.

Haven’t had firm comp talks yet but range was well north of 50% increase in cash comp from current (plus LT equity, draws, etc). Anyone take $ over brand? what are some traps to watch for?

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD.

In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve
