I had that happen. It turned out they didn’t even have a creative director. It was a terrible job

Not necessarily, that's just the first round. Good luck!

It’s not a great sign, but it’s worth a shot. Will any teammates (your copy partner, Creative Director, account execs) be interviewing you?

An ACD and someone from account I believe.

Depends if this person is ooo or at work but too busy to interview you. You should ask!

Could be work travel or vacation related. And for the sake of keeping things moving, not losing the best candidates and filling the role on a reasonable timeline, others step in.

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?
