Exactly. Who’s this shortsighted and absurd? Sadly I can see not caring what your junior freelancer makes but your *executive* creative director? The one inspiring your entire creative team?

I don’t really see what’s wrong with this hourly rate. Honestly, with this economy and industry, the way it is that’s a pretty good living. Now, I would want a contract buyout clause if they try to end it before end of year. But honestly, they’d be making way more than me as SVP. And probably with more job security LOL.

They do some w-2 placements too so you’re not totally off on that, but they take such a big portion as a finders fee and still severely underpay

Actually that’s the rate to you. The rate CC is charging to client is $200 - $220/hour. 🤷‍♂️

Can someone explain how billable hours work?

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 .

Hi all, I was curious about companies that have their own in-house advertising. I’m in digital media, specifically, SEM and potentially looking to leave the agency side. Primarily due to low pay, and management issues. Given this, any company recs that have a solid foundation with digital media? Any advice from people who’ve been on both the agency and branded side?

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.

How do you go about this? Do you just swallow your pride and just take the paycheck? Try to fight for it tooth and nail while you still can?
