ECDs, if you are presenting someone else’s work, either read it clearly/slowly or let the person who wrote it read it, so the people you are presenting to understand what the idea is. 🎈

ECDs shouldn’t be presenting work, CDs shouldn’t be presenting work … you set the stage for your creatives, let them present, support them by adding witty comments or info when needed, and then run the feedback process.

I know with some clients and rush projects it makes more sense to have the CD run the entire presentation but otherwise as a leader you should be there to teach your team, not steal the glory and feed your own ego

I’d even say that CDs do the same thing for the creatives that make the work and report to the CD. But be familiar with the creative enough if the client doesn’t want all the people in the room he/she can present well.

Okay. This is real.

This was a huge problem at Deutsch LA in Taco Bell years ago. The ECD’s didn’t even try to hide their bias for the teams they wanted to go on shoots with. Gotta love the “boys club” mentality that plagues this industry.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
