The transition to consulting has been tough, everything is so different than how agencies are culturally and how agencies work...but Im finding the work is much more intelligently informed and impactful to the clients’ business

I'm finding that no problems are framed as comms problems eg no human focused insight so it's very hard to actually do any strategy. I've become a message translator.

Also my agency is doing lots of uninspiring briefs - internal videos, conference videos etc.

The huge culture clash is also a problem.

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette. I really do not want a gift from them at the wedding. Full disclosure, my fiancé and I have great paying jobs and my bridesmaids are grad students, artists, and teachers. How would you frame this? Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.
