Cannes’t Day 1: Welcome to Delusion Beach

Just landed. Cannes is crawling with ECDs who haven’t opened a Google Doc since Obama. Everyone’s “all about the work” while sipping €28 rosé and name-dropping their worst client. It’s like Coachella for people who ghost their teams and repost Gary Vee. I’ve seen 12 panels, 0 actual ideas. This place is a pastel cult.

Anyone hear of the firm GHJ? I believe it’s in LA. Thoughts?

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

If you do something on the side for extra cash (like drive for Uber) then lose your agency job in a layoff, does your little side gig disqualify you from collecting unemployment?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
