Client: I want to make a 30s TV ad. I want reach.

Agency: For the same budget, we could do this newsworthy activation that will get you lots of PR, film it, and put it as a 30s TV ad.

Client: Nah.

Do you guys get the sense we're more entrepreneurial than MBB? given smaller scale (at least in my office) there's a lot of unstructured staffing and project mgmt that both drives me nuts but...

Stupid question- how long would this job take ?

Hi guys I recently set up my own thing. And had a small & slightly strange request from a client.

They want a playbook/ manual designing up. They have the copy (2000words) and existing design guidelines. So basically its just putting these elements together.

I was thinking two check ins/ rounds of amends.

As a designer how long do you reckon is fair to scope this for? What would you say in terms of timelines.?

Currently booked with a project rate. Timelines have shifted and agency asked if I was interested in staying on till the end. Would it be safe to assume they would adjust the rate to accommodate the new length? How do I go about approaching this?

Today, I found a solution to a design problem. But it is late in the project, and several already finished elements would need to be changed, and it's a little beyond scope. What would you do?

Can someone offer advice? I currently am working in finance and accounting at the big 4, but I really want to go into a different field like PR, communications, HR or project management. I know they are all vastly different but I just don’t feel like I have a shot in any of these because of my background.

Hello,

Can anyone help me with the difference between below 2 things ?

The most creative thing I’ve done since going client side is learning to trade stock options. My portfolio may be stale and in disarray; I may be bummed out by recruiters who ghost me; but as long as I can print a few thousand extra tendies each week, how upset should I really be?

Overheard: "Some day I hope to meet a client that would take out an ad for us in AdAge."

Im the key member in our team with an excellent 3,5 yeae track record at my company, no doubt about it and many people have resigned from our department in the past months. I feel like my salary is shitty and Ive been complaining about it for a while now to my bosses.

Im about to have a call with our department head, 1-2-1. Anybody got any advice?

How do you work with your VP, Dir, or CPO? Does the PM have a seat at the table to talk strategy or does that come from the CPO? How often do you meet to talk about product (not as a ppl mgr)? My org is small with no VP or Dir and I report to the CPO. Tbh I feel like the CPO is the messenger of my work to csuite but idk what they actually do on a day to day basis. I’m curious how larger more structured orgs divide responsibilities and communicate them.

Startup staffing question…do you think it’s professional/ethical to check references for multiple candidates before making an offer? Just had a company ask for my references and then tell me that they’re still reviewing four candidates. I never would’ve offered my manager if I knew in advance.
