Does anybody know how much a WARC subscription costs? Hoping to make a case to my agency to buy it but their pricing page doesn’t seem to work.

Relatedly, are there any similar research banks for advertising/marketing that people would recommend in place of WARC?

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Does anyone have a good lead on where to find research backed customer journeys? Either generic for an industry (like restaurant) or for major players in an industry (like chili's). I am fairly new to planning, and this keeps coming up as something and that would be helpful.
Thank you!

Hello! I just started freelancing after 12 years of corporate life with a mix of media strategy, consumer insights and ux research, both agency and brand side.

Has anyone worked at a smaller branding agency? Would love to switch from big agency to actually creating brands but not sure how to start there.

Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.
