Hi. I’ve directed a few social spots and a doc/branded content campaign for my agency. None of work was PRd, so no credits. Interested in directing long term. How have you seen creatives make switch?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, all the time. Make a website, show your work. Do your own PR. Build relationships with your production shops and tell them you want to direct.

All the time. Keep grinding.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
