I haven't done this personally, but then again, I haven't had the opportunity to do so as my clients are uniformly uncontroversial. I saw a post a while back about a marketer not wanting to work on a major alcohol brand's account because their mother had passed away from liver failure, which seemed perfectly reasonable to me. If one of my team expressed a similar sentiment, I'd be willing to let them remove themselves from the project.

I agree. Generally we like working on whatever we can, so if something like this is brought up there usually must be a good reason.

@ PE folks, do you think it’s weird if a new member of your Big Law team of lawyers sends you a LinkedIn request as soon as she starts working with you? Is it less weird if I wait?

(The confession is that I eventually want to go in-house at this PE firm, so I want them to like me 😅)

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

What’s your take on working along side a team in marketing but barely any of your team enjoy the social present, let alone having actual social accounts.

I’ve been asked by a client to coach their team on how to structure and write scripts for their corporate event content (e.g. panel discussions). I’ve happily had a crack at helping them but it’s a bit out of my wheelhouse - is this ask something that would ordinarily be given to an agency copywriter? Or would it usually be something a content or speech writer would do?
Either way, I’m happy to add the additional skill to my CV 😅
