Do internal production studio teams at big agencies get any respect. The kind that swap out end tags on video work from an above the line. They always seem like a bunch of amateurs desperately holding on to their first and only adult job.

Sure, they get respect. It’s just that they don’t get the sexy work. True, they don’t have the same level of craft as top production companies. But so what. Your project that ends up there doesn’t deserve those high end companies anyway. Lol

“Bunch of amateurs desperately holding on to their first and only adult job”? What a peach.

Having worked at both, the in house teams are usually the ones fixing messes made by fancier sexier vendors who creatives/account begged and spend a lot more money to work with. I’ve seen amazing work, and sloppy work, done by both.

Some are good. Some aren’t. Just like any other department. It all depends on how you treat people.

The internals generally don’t do good work and are not respected because of it, but it’s not the fault of the people working there. They’re constantly slammed with way too many projects and every project they get forcefed is low budget and underbid. I think being able to survive in a world like that is impressive but their reel won’t show it. It’s a tough place to be in. The flipside is steady work, benefits, job security, etc.

Sounds like you work at a crap agency. Most of the people I know working at inhouse studios came from great independent shops that closed down because, checks notes, the agencies started beefing up their internal studios and no longer went to the independent shops.

The rest are freelancers that the other studios are just as likely to hire. As a freelancer myself it always cracked me up that when I worked directly with the agency, I must be crap, but when they paid a markup to work with me through a studio I must be a creative genius.

Amazing how an industry that creates perception is so easily fooled by it.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Today is my first day back at work (and first full day back in my physical office) after a few weeks off for parental leave. Needless to say, I am struggling to stay focused on anything other than wanting to go back home to my spouse and child.

I know I shouldn't take an emotional temperature on day one, but it has been more difficult being back than I anticipated. Any tips for navigating the waters for the first day/week/month back?
