Can someone explain to me what the day to day of a producer looks like at an ad agency?

Each day of the week for a producer is different - but mainly it’s about ushering ideas from conception to completion and identifying the correct creative vendors and partners, creating budgets and schedules, keeping everyone informed with a militant paper trail, and doing it all while earning the trust and respect of your team. Some agencies have different levels of infrastructure support with talent and BA so some producers do more of their own paperwork than others. Many creatives don’t fully appreciate or understand all that producers do hence the snarky comments above.

Really appreciate this comment. Sounds like you need to be very personable and organized. How does one start out as a producer?

Getting yelled at by production partner:
Going to lunch.
Drinking.
Repeat yelling.
Rep dinner.

Hey guys ,
I was a fresher when i joined wipro
My manager has given me rating 1 in confirmatory appraisal on may 18 may which happened after completion of 1 year at wipro.
I raised the issue of rating with my manager immediately , he convinced me not to worry , ratings are already submitted , I asked him to resubmit cause i don't deserve rating 1
So he said he will look if that is possible but didn't changed .Now after 3 months they are pressurizing me to put a resignation,what should i do?

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.
