Creative leaders worth their salt should know and remember these things before they judge any work, not just for awards duty but on a daily basis when assessing work from their own creatives, otherwise how would they know if an idea that has been done gets selected to be presented to a client as if it is new? The amount of incompetent juries that the award shows invite these days are so bad they’re speeding up their own downfall.

I more than not repeating an idea someone else did 20 years ago we need to get back to treating cultural impact as our holy grail. No more innovative film piece that only runs once in a tiny market. No more fake product that “sells out” because you only made 5 of them. Everything we do should be filtered through the lens of “is this going to be a real center of gravity for mass culture?”

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
