It’s 100% in your contract that you can’t do the same thing you do for your agency for anyone else. If you get caught you can get fired for it – with cause, which means no notice no severance. Make sure that if you do it, you don’t pick up work from an agency within the same holding company (payroll see’s your name twice you’re busted) also avoid direct competitor brands to your agency’s accounts. If you do get caught you might be able to squeak by with a warning because it wasn’t a direct competitor.

Curious to know if this has been done with contracts offered by staffing agencies like VitaminT, Creative Niche, Creative Circle, etc.

Read your contract.

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
