I had to go back to work 5 weeks after having my daughter bc I was running the account. It was way too early. However, I think the damage done AFTER my children were born was tougher on me. The large agency world had no tolerance for a parent, let alone a solo parent. As a female creative leader, I waited to have kids until 36 and 38. So at 40, I had to leave the agency world after 20 years building my career - and my salary was a THIRD of what it was in the advertising. And I was in a great place in my career when I had to leave. Now I want back in. I miss the ad world I grew up in. I’m an ad girl at heart. I’m hoping it will be friendlier to moms. But at least I don’t have toddlers anymore. Sick kids in daycare are not something the ad world wanted to deal with. Hoping it got better over the last five years. I had someone I used to work with who was frustrated with me having to leave occasionally for kid stuff write me and apologize after she had kids. That actually made me feel better about it, but it was the culture that didn’t allow for empathy.
Agencies should provide an on-site daycare staffed with a couple fulltime caretakers. It would be a net-positive for the agency, because parents wouldn’t have to leave work so early, and it would attract more talent and encourage them to stay. Plus, the friendships that would blossom from the parents who have kids of similar ages at this same daycare would be nice too.

The Martin Agency has 3 months leave. Maternity and paternity.
So does Huge.
It doesn’t get exponentially better when kids hit school age. Not a lot of after-care services or babysitters will deal with sick kids. To have kids and work in this industry you better have a solid marriage and an extensive support system.
Some Omnicom agencies like DDB have really bad policies. Ironically, their Global CEO is a Mom.
