Has anyone here worked on a brand at an agency that received an Untitled Letter for promotional materials?

Curious how it actually affected team dynamics, client relationships, and LMR processes — especially when the issue centered on efficacy prominence vs safety balance. The letters seem so subjective, I’m curious how the remediation is handled and then the ongoing impact day to day.

Really wasn’t end of the world. LMR takes most of the heat for that. There’s multiple layers of teams and client approvals before it hits them as last line of defense. Might be some finger pointing, but it’s shared blame end of the day, and sometimes subjectively determined depending on what you got the letter for. You fix it, update what you need to and any cascade impact, and move on. Anticipate some more conservative reviews moving forward, especially in LMR. Probably some juiced up fair balance which is annoying. But once you get over the hurdle it’s usually someone just takes as word of caution.

I work across a portfolio of brands for one client that received several letters. As you mentioned, these aren't new rules, just new (and stricter) "interpretations" of the rules. No heat on us, especially because we quickly turned around and relaunched all the creative after addressing the content of the letters.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
