Creatives who have been able to switch accounts at the same agency: mind sharing the process? Who you talked to, any bridges that may have been a little charred in the process?

Been at the agency working for the same client for 3 years and looking forward to 2026 I think I need to start looking for a new job or move internally. Art partner’s on the same page but they’re looking into moving back to their home country which also means I may be partnerless soon…

Does promotion happen while you're on bench in IT companies?
Hi All, I've completed two years in my current company and I was recently released from my project and my manager is trying to assign me to a new project hopefully.
My question is, will my promotion happen as I was eligible for the same and I was released to the bench as I'll be moving on to another project soon. Can someone enlighten me on this?

Fishes need suggestions. I have been put on PIP for bad performance. I am being a part of 6 months project and project is about to complete with backend work done. I took more time for some tasks because of not knowing the technology so they highlighted that and my senior send emails to HR to put me on PIP. What should I do ? Acknowledge PIP ? Or resign? Or let them terminate me so I can claim salary of three months as fnf settlement? Getting confused, please suggest.

Just found out the project I worked on this week is non-billable! I wasn't informed during the staffing request. Is this normal?

Just got off a project status call with a client who was for sure tipsy…Tuesday happy hour I guess. Got them to agree to some next steps I wasn't expecting- win for me!

Hi All,

Is it okay to join Mastercard Project from third party payroll?

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

I have a real estate client who at the top of his organization chart owns is 50/50 partners in a real estate investment company. First question is it advantageous to have the top of the organization 50/50 partners own the r/e company as an s-corp? That 50/50 company then owns 70% of holding company they own all the real estate as a partnership that the original partners are 35/35 and the investors own the remainder. All the real estate deals are then owned by this holding company.

I am starting a new role with a new company and will have 6 direct reports. Although I have managed teams before in a consulting project setting, this will be the first time in industry.

How do you all role out your ERG

I’m accustomed to keeping my students’ IEP folders in my classroom & being held responsible for their safekeeping. Now in a new district, I found that the Case Manager keeps all district IEPs in her office. We have to submit our updates & progress notes to her. And we have to make a planning period appointment with her to come look at any IEP folders. How does your district deal with IEP folder custody?

What agencies are hiring for remote work, anywhere in the US?

Is there anyone who works for Google or Amazon and has a healthcare background with no tech skills? I have my MBA with a healthcare concentration and I’m looking to switch industries. I’ve started to take certification courses on Udemy but would love any insight on how I could get my foot in the door with those companies. Thank you!!

Who’s got their stimmy checks already?

For those that take on small freelance projects on the side (more consulting/work for small companies, night/weekend hours), is it worth setting up an LLC for that? Do you typically lower your rate for small companies vs what it would be freelancing at a day rate for an agency?

Talent retention | There has been alot of people leaving Agency life for other careers which offer more work life balance or benefits or even just going solo. Your thoughts? How long do you plan to stay in this field ?

How can I help our UX/UI people and developers become more familiar with conceptual advertising? One Show books? Hey Whipple, Squeeze This?

Are memes ideas?

What do CDs think when a junior team answers a (non-social) brief with a bunch of memes?

Not original ones based off brand insights, but rather recent memes that have been tweaked to include the brand.

My partner does/suggests this a lot and I never know if I’m being boring / a boomer for thinking that’s not really what advertising is…

I put in my two weeks! But now it's weird here haha. Agencies should ask you to leave and pay you out. This is silly.

Are there any CDs working on Post Mates, Grub hub or Door dash. I just wrote out a whole campaign for fun. Print, commercials, activations, etc. Would love to pitch it.

Who here is freelancing while working full time?

Anyone want to work for us in our chicago office and make me some referral money?

We’re looking for ACD’s, seniors, and a mid-level writer. Send me a DM with your book(s) and i’ll refer you.

My ECD keeps changing our work before it goes to client and it's cost us making good work. Our books are suffering because he can't get his hands off the tools. Our books are only full of spec now.

Some days the ghosting and radio silence comes off as blacklisting and soul crushing. How hard of an ask is it to copy and paste "thank you for your interest, we decided to go with another candidate"

You’ve had a 360-campaign brief for about a week that’s essentially a brand refresh. The expectation in the first-round creative review is scripts and adlobs for each concept. How many concepts to you come back with?

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Has any creative here ever tried to make the leap to leave advertising and be a film maker, photographer, illustrator, etc.?? I’m so tired of ad agencies and how draining the “creative” can be. Happiness is more important than a nice paycheck for me. Any inspiration success stories advice would be so helpful right now...

AKQA NY thoughts?

Thinking about making a move from agency to our state’s PBS HQ. Obviously less money, but also more purpose. Curious if anyone has made a move for purpose>money/prestige/etc and if it’ll be worth it, or just make me miss clients and their budgets and the craziness of agency life (which I love)

I love living in NYC. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the kind of job I want here. Can someone suggest me other states where creative agencies are actually hiring?

When you know where you want to work, who do you reach out to first — the hr/talent/recruiter or directly to the CD or ECD depending on level? Or both?
