I actually like the webbys because it’s judged by people who are not from advertising. Maybe less prestigious, but feels way more authentic

like

Sure but any creative or agency who are in the running are blasting “vote for us to win a webby” posts and I gotta imagine a good percentage of the votes for most ad categories are from people who work at those agencies

Webby’s are better than most awards besides maybe d&ad and one show (maybe Cannes) because you’re often up against things outside the industry. It’s not an Emmy, but it’s def a lot better than NYF or any other similar garbage.

If I win, sure. If not, nope.

Only one winner per category immediately makes it a more meaningful award for me. The peoples choice component is a bit stupid but I always creep the actual webby winners for inspiration on smart digital ideas.

All awards are good, but I think the Webby is pretty far down on the list with stuff like the NY Festivals, Shortys and AICP.

It’s still mostly all about Cannes, OneShow and D&AD

like

Meh. They always award too many.

During a pandemic any win is a major win. If you got awarded celebrate, be proud and keep moving. It matters but shouldn’t matter too much.

No. 😅

Not at all.

When i won my first One Show pencil i was so excited to go to the awards show and it was such a long boring night. They all are apart from Webbys where you get to stand in line for the bathroom with Jimmy O Yang.

Regulator people?
Nope.
In fact they are more than likely irritated by unnecessarily flamboyant websites.

Webby care about them

My instinct is that they aren’t as well regarded in more traditional circles but carry a bit more cachet in digital/innovation circles.

Yes they are...and you can also turn the springs upside down, tie them to our feet and hop around like a rabbit. Yes I have done that 🤘💯.

This might come off as offensive, but it's a genuine question from a man to women (and anyone else). I feel like for a long time talking about sports in the office has kept women out of the small talk, because I've perceived that women don't tend to have the same interest, certain not in golf. I don't want to be talking about things that everyone can't relate to/that aren't inclusive of women, but I also feel like I don't want to assume that women don't like sports. Help.

Do any carriers in Europe pay salaries equal to their American counterparts? I’ve found that the salary for my role is pretty much halved across the Atlantic.

I know that my company, Chubb, does and from time to time they have rotational programs where not only do you maintain your US salary but you also get COLA and a housing allowance, unfortunately nothing right now nor permanent.

Another option would be insurance companies that pay your American salary while working abroad.

Are there agencies where opportunities are more even spread out?
