Dear small agencies. Forget AI. I know it's tempting. To use AI and produce work with all the bells and whistles that only big-money production can do, and your clients don't have the budget for. But if Coca-Cola and McDonald's (who actually can afford a big production) can't manage to do it without tremendous backlash, you are not going to look good either. Focus on good ideas, good writing, and good design.

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

I’m curious what non sales positions people from sales transfer into. Currently a sales rep at a cybersecurity firm but am interested in exploring industries that have a bit less stress involved.

How hard are the Series 7, 65, or 82 exams? Interested in those because I don’t see myself reaching accredited status via capital alone any time soon.

What’s the difference between a 750, 760 and 770. I just took for first time and got 750. I’m confident I can bump it up. Is it worth retaking or is there no measurable advantages of 10 extra pts

Anyone here recently get or see any amazing jumbo mortgage rates? It’s painful to search each bank individually. Would love something under 5.5% (only looking for 30 year fixed)

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

casually scrolling through my feed on IG when I see a sponsored ad from a guy wanting to work at Saatchi. Jobseekers are getting so clever! what's the best thing you've seen someone do for a job?

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

I have my exit interview tomorrow. Any tips? Have any of you written down what you wanted to say? I’m leaving advertising and moving so I’ll probably never see these people again.

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Do first 🐟 responders to a post have a responsibility for setting up the tone (positive/negative/off topic)?? Asking for a friend who noticed a trend😊 (For which this may turn into a demo...)

I have my guesses but why do some staff employees quit only to return as freelancers a few months later?

Which NYC media agency or vendor have a well developed Analytics team? I just can't stand my current agency's direction and disregard for any Analytics personnel. Downward cycle for sure.

What skills or abilities do you believe are the most important to have/demonstrate in order to move from Copywriter to Sr. Copywriter?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

What’s your creative side-project?

Can community managers call themselves copywriters?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Do agencies rent spaces out in places like WeWork to give teams some autonomy away from the office?

Kudos to the man on the train next to me who has his ticket around his neck, his glasses in his hand and a full sleeping mask on. 😴

Any tips from social media managers?
