Clients, especially those in the pharma industry, can make things complicated. Dealing with people with little to no criteria is challenging, and I feel overwhelmed. I'm curious if working on the brand side is any better. I am looking for CPG opportunities.

I worked in agencies for 15+ years and just switched to the client side over 2 yrs ago. Most problems are essentially about the same: budgets, people, politics...

What I like most about working in-house is that other teams are your colleagues – not your clients. So, the dynamics change significantly. If your team will work with many internal teams and can choose to prioritize/whom you want to work with, then more power to you. Plus, MUCH better work-life balance

I hear you. Hopefully, I can make the switch soon. Are you guys hiring? 👀 I want to work for Amee Shah. My former ECD at McCann just joined Chase, too. She’s great!

I have a friend trying to talk me in to an IUL instead of a 529 for my kids. (My kids have 529s and that’s what I intend on staying with.) Am I missing something? Can someone dumb it down for me why IUL is a bad idea (if it is, in fact, a bad idea). Is there any reason to have both? Her main reason is that 529 counts as income and IUL doesn’t and can also serve as a retirement plan. Help, wise ones!

What title for this job description?
I want to switch roles from a creative director who oversees all aspects of the company’s creative (marketing campaigns and brand building mostly; also production, performance marketing ads, product design, managing design team) to focusing 100% on building our brand, educating both customers and employees about our value prop. I hate managing people or logistics and scheduling. What would this role be called? Do you see it as demotion from CD?
