I'm sorry for any account losses and the cuts that come with them, but sports book brands are as exploitative and damaging as tobacco brands. The industry looks the other way because of the chance to work with athletes, or to make Paddy Power-style sports comedy, but in the end it's about building harmful habits with vulnerable young men.

Sorry to hear.

For what it’s worth, mobile gambling has far surpassed drugs and alcohol as the number 1 addiction on college campuses now.

As if already graduating in debt from insane school loans isn’t bad enough, so many kids are insanely deep in the red because of it. We’re talking “challenger deep” and their credit is so bad they’re having difficulty finding jobs due to the background check

It’s true. It’s on Adage’s article. The same vehicle that nominated them as creative agency of the year lol.

I mean, it kinda makes sense. Being a creative agency often means losing business because the work is great but great work doesn’t always solve business problems. Mighta been what happened with weight watchers.

They also work for McDonald’s, accompany slowly, killing millions. I bet you can find some pretty messed up stuff about almost any client. It’s sad that people have a gambling problem, but people also have drinking problems and eating problems and all kinds of problems. First, we should talk about the agencies who work for the defense department and defense contractors.

Food addiction is one of the biggest addictions in the country. Binge eating is the most common eating disorder. Sugar is 10 times more addictive than cocaine so no I don’t think marketing fast food is ethically superior to a gambling or alcohol company.

And their token “responsible gaming” ads are so flimsy and transparent. Like a hidden .00005pt type cancer message on the side of cig packs.

And not for nuthin but their “kick of destiny” work was very mehhhh.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
