Hey hey fish friends,

This might be a long shot, and I know it’s a lot to ask for a strangers time. I’m wondering if any Creative Directors would be willing to do a portfolio review for me. Just would love some feedback.

I’d consider myself mid- senior (art).

Does LTI provide reimbursement for WFH setup ?

Hi, this is mostly a question for account management and strategists. I’ve been in advertising for a while, and am back in this market after working in others. The main thing I’m noticing that is driving me bonkers is the lack of client talent here. Across the portfolio I oversee it is very rare to get a client that understands how to brief an agency partner (creative or media or pr); there is limited capacity to really focus on objectives other than tactical KPIs.
Is this common/any advice?

Been in the strat game for over a decade; I’ve realized that a strong department with clear process that is built on end to end problem solving (with time to think) is when I’m happiest vs this award show / case study grind. What are some agencies you all work or have worked at, that value strategy as a department and not a creative case study farm? Looking to figure out what’s next.
