First time butting heads with an MLR team with no solution in sight. Is this what my whole career will be if I stay in pharma advertising?

It doesn't have to be. Why do you think that there is no solution in sight? There has to be a mediator at a certain point to continue with the productiveness of the department.

Not necessarily. I’d work with your AM team to figure out the solution, because there is one you just can’t see it.

Your MLR teams (internal and external) need to be your best friends, so figure out the solution and always play nice with them. They know what they’re talking about, so everyone (creative, am and pm) needs find the solution.

I think my client lead is similarly frustrated. MLR is just nit picking, so maybe I should be glad it's not a bigger issue

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
