^ creative translation: some creatives sell out and take the easy road even if it means the work isn't as good, while others fight the good fight and do everything they can to keep from preventing to the already enormous pool of shitty advertising

Creatives are delicate flowers that need to tell themselves they are "fighting the good fight" to give meaning to their work, unable to accept their job is just to make other people money.

Creatives are interesting people. Some get it and realize the best thing for the agency and for their bonuses is to retain and raise revenue instead of trying to sell it in. Some creatives never get this and put their foot down for their ideas which have no interest from clients to make.

@jc1: some creatives grow out, grow other skills, are able to see big picture, grow the folks underneath them, and build kickass creative teams. who's going to give you the opportunity to create your self-righteous work: someone who comes from creative or someone leading your creative team with any other background?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?
