Hey is there anyone interested in pulling off their fingernails with pliers in NYC

Oh, unclench SA1

Is your motive making more money or making better work? Because you likely won’t get either for a while, if at all.

I did this last year during the pandemic because I wanted to do super creative work. No matter how good your reel is, it is tough to land clients. Ended up having to shell out some dough and equity for real NB hunters and account team.

My creative team is made up of people willing to split the revenue after overhead. So no salary there, but they come first payment wise. At the end of the day, this is why I still have a day job.

DM me if you want to chat about it. Maybe there’s a way we can crack the code.

Good to know that 2021 will return to normalcy—the Chiefs winning means that nothing weird happens (like, say, an 85 combined point game between the Saints and the Vikes). Only in 2020.

Not sure about this. I found myself making less with more on my shoulders in the first years. But I guess it depends on how you want to manage the shop.

If you need digital media happy to do a test project, see where it goes.

My focus is typically B2C lead gen and ecomm and you'll find few as good at it as me. And by good I mean campaign attributable $$$.

Let’s chat and put ideas down

I think I read about some kind of process where when an applicant reaches out to a current student or alum for a 1:1 and makes a good impression, the student/alum can send a message to the adcom letting them know? Is it like a "Hey I connected with this applicant and had a great conversation with them. I think they would be a great fit for the program" type of thing?
