I just wanted to acknowledge that the positivity this bowl has shown me is incredibly encouraging and refreshing. Thank you all. Special thanks to those who have reached out personally to provide advice, assistance, or just plain ole' motivation.
For you, not so great. Hard enough to find open roles for people at my level, at yours they’re basically non-existent. Either agencies here don’t know what it is you do, aren’t big enough to need a GCD, or they already have someone in that role.
In-house could be a good place, but that takes a ton of work to find those jobs. Certainly possible, but it’s not like bigger markets where employers are savvy and know where/how to find good talent.
It’s one of the best places in the country to live, very beautiful. And while the market has tons of potential in the next decade, for your level it’s not quite up to par yet.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. On my preliminary searches, it is very consistent with what you've mentioned.
How is Boulder? Same?
Frankly op, at your level it might best for you to get some people together and start an agency.
This advice is all true. Judging from your background, check out Motive in Denver too. Would recommend freelancing to see if it might be a fit for you/them. They do a lot of work for Pepsi along with other national brands and are very committed to good design.
Yes, I’ve worked there. Also, you haven’t heard many good things about most denver agencies for a reason... this town ain’t quite there yet. Getting close, but still years away. Boulder is where it’s at right now.
What’s your background? AD CW?
Just realized you said GDD
