The case study claims they got the plastic from 1,000 blood bags, but from that number of bags you’re only collecting a few milligrams total—nowhere near enough to 3D print entire objects like cups or shopping bags. It’s BS!

Woooow. So that’s allowed?! They should look at that one too. This shit is exhausting and it needs to all be stopped

I worked in Asia. It was the same thing. A network expectation of winning awards at all costs. And those costs were scamming it through. But in all honesty, it was all networks. Ogilvy, Saatchi, etc.

let's move on with this please?

“Let’s move on with this please” is why it keeps happening. And why the award shows are full of this type of work. Most of which never gets caught. The last thing we should be doing is moving on. This should be the start of the excavation of all the rot that has set in since the birth of the case study video

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

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.
