Can we stop calling meetings 30 minutes or longer a “stand up”? From my understanding stand ups are for meeting lengths so short sitting down wouldn’t make too much sense, hence the name.

I used to work at an agency that had a monthly "standing 10" that always lasted 45 minutes to an hour and a half. That's a goddamn townhall. Call it what it is.

I’m sick to death of stand ups, with all the projects I’m on I have like 3 different ones every day. Let us get the work done people instead of talking about it so much.

Bro I feel you I spent more time today in meetings talking about all the work I needed to get done this week than actually getting started on the work. It’s maddening.

Yeah, isn’t stand up supposed to be a MAX of 15 minutes?

What’s your agency’s hook?

I’m starting a new offering from the ground floor - no existing social clients or work. I’ll be walking into meetings with clients who know me from other agencies, where our hook was “we’re fan-first marketers” or “we are the most premium creative shop in our industry”.

I’m working on my new hook, but would love to hear yours.
