have an opportunity to go in-house which would give me much more stability but afraid it may stunt my creative growth. For those who have transitioned back and forth, what has your experience been moving in-house? Does it get boring? Stagnant?

I did the same thing last year because I just wasn't making a decent living as a freelancer due to taxes, lack of benefits, etc. I worried about my creativity being stunted and losing some of my skills. But at the end of the day, it's a job. You can maintain your creativity outside of working hours while paying your bills.

This is a great point. Creative work under pressure of a job does end up being just a job. So are you happy now? How do you feed your creativity outside of work?

Not boring, but definitely different. There is a deeper focus on a single project and getting to see its full lifecycle, and the impact you can have has been surprisingly rewarding.

It can be a great thing to include in your portfolio. I see people present more of a case study. Here is the brief, process, and outcomes. You show the whole process instead of just the finished project.

I’m in house and don’t find it boring at all!

Yes awards matter where I am. They’re actually part of our targets and contribute to our annual bonuses. We have a large portfolio of brands so I love that if I get sick of working on something, I know that I’ll be jumping to a totally different brand next. There’s a lot of appetite for stunts and super creative OOH where I am, which I find fun

Girl just take it
