Has Edelman figured out creative yet?

They've figured out their own idea of it, and that's not likely to change. The PR understanding of creative is just different. If you're a traditional creative with an agency background, you're going to get frustrated early and often.

I’m only six months in here. Cant say I totally disagree. Although I think our ideas are generally better than we make them out to be.

I hear creatives mainly have to figure out which influencer to do a collab with, or what the vending machine idea is.

Damn that’s so true it hurts.

They’ve definitely figured out production. The stage before that though…

“Wait, there’s a stage before that????”

Nope lol. They cant attract any talent and their current leadership is notoriously bad.

C1 why was he pushed out? he was a great CD/creative having led MAL’s work for so many years, no?

Really depends on the practice/account/team. It’s a lot better than it was five years ago.

We have bigger challenges than traditional creative agencies: we do stuff that must earn attention and ideally drive a change in people’s mindset. Doing creative that goes to paid media simply implies different logics.

Curious for some advice…

I currently have a Cap One Venture card. I have had it for a couple of years now but I am interested in upgrading to a Venture X card.

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
