Facebook’s creative hub... I need to use you... why are you so difficult to use... why do you keep changing?!

Hi can I have some likes for dms 👍

Just moved to sunny San Diego with my fiancée and don’t have any friends in the city! Anyone open to grabbing a drink in the coming weeks? Currently in North Park

Thoughts on the lumanity acquisition of clarion? I was a bit surprised, the clarion name seems bigger and I had never actually heard of lumanity, but maybe I'm just out of the loop.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Anyone hiring? I’m a PharmD looking to jump from consulting to the industry.

Best way to grow organically on social media? It seems that our engagement has taken a dive and nothing is working anymore.

What are the major factors that differentiate marketing from community management?

What are you writing for your 6 month professional goals?

Curious to hear how others create a SOW for a video where the concept isn’t created yet. e.g. a startup asks for a proposal/estimate for a 60-second brand video with little input and a vague budget range. We’ll create the concept and produce it. My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?

Most beautiful places to escape within three hours' driving of NYC? Forests, lakes, ocean, camping.

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

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❤️

Which agencies are going through layoffs

What’s up with SCC Chicago?

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

Can community managers call themselves copywriters?

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

I’m looking for some new things to read or listen to — doesn’t need to be ad-related. Books, podcasts, whaddya got?
I’m not really into fiction, but open to anything. Last books I enjoyed were Junior and Moonwalking with Einstein, last podcast I binged was Startup (Gimlet).

What is your agency’s maternity or paternity leave policy?

Is there any tv work worse than the State Farm Chris Paul and his agent unfunny turds? It’s like the creatives watched the Footlocker basketball work and tried to do that. WTF agency does this?

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.

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

I really need to know. Does anyone genuinely care about their jobs anymore? Money aside.

Laid off in August. Just wrapped a 4 round intrvw w a big name agency... but another candidate got the offer. ISO of agencies hiring. I’m happy to share a portfolio and conversation with all in NYC.

When should you stop following up after a great interview? Was told I was too pricey for one market, so they asked me if I would consider another in the future. I said yes, and now it’s been a week.
