C-suite consulting leaders: why are you buying creative agencies?

Typical salary band for Consultant level for Risk & Advisory in HCOL? Got an offer for 90k + 10k signing so trying to see if this is high or just standard. 2 YOE, they mentioned promotion to SC in 6-8 months.

Tomorrow morning I have my 6th CD check-in in 12 days. Last big one for awhile. Partner & I are going crazy. 🐠, any tips on staying sane on the brink of total insanity??????????? 🙃🙃🙃

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Anyone have experience in raising capital out of the Middle East (Jordan, Kuwait, SA)? Any experience in delivering solutions in that area? I am trying to figure out if a pursuit in that area is to much of a risk. Any insight is appreciated.

Just received an offer with expected / standard salary for role but no signing or relocation bonus. They know I don’t have any other offers which is why I assume they didn’t offer any signing bonus - do I have any chance of getting one without “leverage”?

Question… I’ve got an offer on the table with a company I want to move forward with. I have a bonus coming from my current company… I’ll know how much next week. How do I get my bonus from my current company and give notice in a way that is fair for all and handled with grace? Thanks for feedback!

I’d like to better understand if it’s better to stay in consulting with a well-defined career path or to move to Google/Facebook/Amazon with a good level and having the consciousness of being promoted is really hard.

Does anyone from agency world to “cagency” world have tips on learning the consulting side? I’m finding as an experienced hire, I lack in some skills such as economics and budgeting.

Anyone at Ogilvy Consulting? Can we chat?

I feel strongly that the OS App Store and Product Hunt could learn a lot from each other.
OS Store: Dictator-like in the extent that they control what people see outside the ranked lists.
- Pace of new to market apps is now way faster than turnover in "Most Downloaded" ($100b+ AR company, man..)
PH: Free market w/ OK search/community features. Feels the right amount of gritty. BUT with an overhauled design, PH has a chance to scare APPL + show the world a truly great store/market for apps.

Makes sense, consulting fundamentally changes businesses internally and advertising fundamentally changes them externally, though syncing those two up will be interesting

Does anyone have a resume writer or career coach they could recommend? Feel free to PM if easier!

What % do you guys charge a partner to advertise on social using your handle/ad account? Is a 100% markup fee plus an "agency" like fee for maintenance of 15% too aggressive?

Publicis Sapient has been blending the two for years. Interestingly enough they are unwinding that now as part of Publicis Group. It’s a major culture clash that took years to overcome.
