Anyone gone through Amazon AWS’ military apprenticeship?

How do you deal with ADD and being able to clearly explain your ideas? Are meds the answer? Really don’t want to do that. Already in therapy. Plz help.

Anyone else just absolutely despise Kryterion and their service reps? They are so rude and I just can’t stand it

Serious question… if I am interested in becoming a CTO/CDO one day, what should I do for the next 5-8 years to prepare for this? Are there specific roles in tech that prepares you for a CTO role? I am currently in sales engineering with over a decade in consulting experience.

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

What's the perception of BBDO NY these days? Still good?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Want to get your opinions on the best small agencies in LA in terms of work produced (media and creative)

I need honest opinions! How do you feel about agencies keeping a person on a Full-Time hourly Contract without any clear sight of offering a permanent Full-Time position?

Is it a reflection of your performance or the employer? What are the pros/cons of being contracted? Thanks!

Any tips for securing freelance work with US agencies when you live abroad? My work is pretty solitary and I could fly in for workshops or a major presentation.

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative? I know plenty of smart account people, strategists, data analysts etc. who would almost certainly make more money and enjoy more autonomy in a different field, or at least in-house. What’s the allure if you don’t represent the product?

So looks like Verizon is really beefing up their new in-house agency. About 30 openings right now in NYC. Maybe? 🤔

Why the heck does being good at writing and concept mean I should spend MORE time in meetings? This system makes no sense. just let me do what I'm GOOD at.

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

If my work starts with the strategy, and I successfully demonstrate how the creative ties to the strategy, and we all agree the connection is clear, then how is the work still deemed "off-strategy"?

Is Slidequest worth it? Please help!!!!

Pretty excited to get back to the hustle on Tuesday... this break was really nice and much needed but I'm feeling a little antsy to get moving again. I can't be the only one ?

What’s the best way to blindly reach out for a job? My dream agency is one of those ones that never seems to actually post job ops. No real connections yet, either.

Strange as it sounds, I'm kinda gonna miss quarantine life.

How’s the job market?

Can we please be done with vertical video? It’s completely opposite the human field of view, looks horrible, no camera other than a cell phone shoots it. Seriously dreading IGTV.
