Does anyone know of any programs for aspiring Strategists in NYC? I know Miami Ad School does a 3 month crash course starting in April and but I'm not seeing much else.

HELP my friends! I’ve been invited to a recruiter screen for the initial interview with HR for Global Safety Associate. This job mainly deals with Adverse event/high prescribing meds product complaints. In my current role I deal with on boarding pt & getting patients work done from A-Z till they get on their meds. The only part which is similar is that I’m the main point of contacts for pt so I can report their complaint to Health Canada. How can I convince them I can handle this new job

Ok. I know that social media has made a lot of AAVE slang popular. I get that. What I find cringe is the obsession with using it 24/7 and the assumption that adding "lit" or "that's cap" or "slay" to things will make them do numbers. Someone in a meeting this morning suggested we use bffr and said it means "best friend for real." Like at least research the term before you try to use it.

Need a space to vent...I spend hours and hours putting together an actionable, creative + platform-first positioning, bring my creative partner into the process, outline specific content buckets, and creatives come back with a totally off-the-wall concept. I ask them how it ties to the strategy, they give a bad answer. We go to into the IR and the account director tells them nicely to try again and align to the strategy. Why do I put so much effort into a strategy that will just be ignored?
