Do any big agencies target the World Series of Poker for their brands? Why or why not?

Because poker is gambling . Most brands can’t or don’t want to be associated with a risky, habit forming activity that requires a legal minimum age to participate (when played in casinos).

I have doubts that any good agency is going to recommend it cuz it will never be the highest ROI sponsorship option to reach that audience, and therefore isn’t a good move for the client or the agency.

It’s way too risky. Gambling is too negative of an activity.

none that i know of, but there's lots of whitespace for enterprise and financial brands

people who play in and even watch the WSOP aren't renegade saloon-dwellers nor are they degenerate gamblers in the slot machine sense. they're way more uncool than that now, mostly just guys who work in finance, engineering, or some other quant-oriented field. pretty insular audience and truly very little risk of tainting brand associations thru it

Try telling Business Affairs. Same goes for alcohol. Most people who drink aren’t degenerates, but it’s the worst case scenarios who spoil it for the rest of us.

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.

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.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.
