Congrats to all the PMs whose work won awards. I see you. Funny how we are told we’re the glue that holds everything together yet we are the most invisible/most forgotten when award season comes around.

Most agencies are account driven; they only care about project management when they need an SOW written, a burn report or an EAC. I don’t anticipate that being treated as a second-class citizen is going to change; PMO is the essentially the punching bag department. I’ve yet to see an organization produce award winning work and include their project managers in the award show process beyond the nights and weekends of putting together case study films and submissions. The photos of smiling faces are always account, creative and production.

Maaaaan! I’ve been left off of whole
Speeches on successes in rooms while I was sitting there but was the red carpet star, EVERYONE remembered my name when anything went wrong—even the things I wasn’t even remotely involved in, where I was so stomped on I cried real tears. Thank you for this post 🫡🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

SP1 so true. It's really up to either the producer or account lead to ensure you are in the credits. And not just awards, but all the way back to the pre pro book. If you think about it, if it weren't for us nothing would actually ever get going to even make the final product.
