Does having “ex AGENCY NAME, AGENCY NAME” help as a part of your LinkedIn title, especially for someone who’s looking for a new job or is freelance?

I’ve always thought it looked desperate tbh

Depends on the agency, for example, I feel like Ex-Mother might not land as well

I'm gonna put 'Ex-Your Mom's House' and see where that gets me

If it’s W+K yes. Badge of honor.

For sure, I include all my ex-boyfriends after my title.

Are any of them a well known CCO??

It’s usually pretty cringe unless the agency is top 10 globally.

If everyone's doing it then it's just noise. Come up with a clever title that no one's seen before.

"Someone from Deutsch told me clever titles are cringe so this is what I decided to write" that's my new title hope it's cringe enough for you

I feel like this is more common amongst brand side folks who worked at the unicorns than it is for agency folk.

If those agencies are in your profile already and they matter they should prompt you up in the algorithm when let’s say people are looking for ex W&k and you worked there

This is my thinking and partially why I never bit the bullet and did it. Wasn’t sure if there was something I misunderstood though.

Only do it if you can name the company at any random dinner party and people nod and go “Wow.”

Nobody knows what the **** Droga5 is.

I think it’s so cringey unless you’re from WK 😬

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
