Makes sense the CEO a poster child for hustle culture so I’m sure his company has the same mentality

Yes. It’s been nearly ten years since I was fired, so things may have changed… but I doubt they’ve changed that much.

If you need some eye-catching clients in your portfolio, or if you’re junior and just need experience somewhere, maybe go for it.

Otherwise, avoid like hell.

It all depends what you do-we lost our account and I was let go. The people there are very nice but it can be very Wild West since the teams sometimes lack structure/swimming lanes. It’s social first so if you don’t know social l, you’re already on the chopping block if client leaves

Yes

It’s been awhile since I was there, laid off like many. Total sweatshop and if you don’t drink the koolaide and kiss ass to Gary V you’re not going to go far.

Is SEO a lost game for a startup? I read a new perspective arguing that for SMEs, competing on SEO is a long and constant fight against the algorithm. Bigger companies have the specialists and budget to undertake the challenges but for new companies, it is much harder. I also read that content marketing should focus more on thought leadership and creating a community of followers.

Any fresh thoughts?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Picked myself up, gave a few encouraging words to myself in the mirror and put my fake face on for my family. Can anyone else relate ?

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
