Not many people seem to care about those agency of the year titles anymore. Especially in the past 2 to 3 years. Even to the winners. Right?

Going in house is the move, right?

Pudding cups. Bagel bites. Hot pockets. Slim Jims. New ice cream flavors. All new to my house. What cool Shit are you buying for the big hunker in the bunker?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Do you think that agencies bring more creative ideas to their brands than in-house? If so, why?

CDs. How many brands do you look after? Trying to find out if I'm stretched too thin, or not thin enough.

Just had a great networking call with someone at a company I’d like to work for… should I follow up asking to be connected to another person on the team? I hear it is a good networking strategy.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Should I stay on the advertising side as a creative or pivot to UX and visual design?
