Honestly, I quite liked the John Lewis ad.
Not one of their best. The acting could’ve been better. But I liked the soul in it. And in a world where AI is coming for everything, it was nice to see nice, simple storytelling around a soulful moment between a dad and a son.

If you didn’t like it, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

Could someone please explain the creative hierarchy in pharma? In general market the roles are normally: JR CW, CW, SR CW, ACD, CD, GCD, ECD. How are creative supervisor roles the same/different? Thx!

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

If you’re succeeding on all the right metrics (i.e., leadership loves you, clients love you, you’re participating on pitches, you’ve brought in clients, and you’re set up to inherit a book of business), but you’re still not super into it, being promoted to income partner won’t change things, right? Worth sticking out to see or jumping to go in house at a pre-IPO, late stage startup you find super exciting and interesting?

First year trainee here. Having the standard wobbles but generally surviving.

My question is - how can I tell if I'm doing well? More specifically, what common and avoidable mistakes (specific or general) do trainees make, and what attitude or actions impress you?

Recently overheard some associates complaining about another trainee and now I have the fear... I want to get this right. Thanks in advance.

There’s a potential partner you’ve heard is very talented - but notably mean under stress. Worth it?

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

Best work of 2019 so far?

Interviewing client side for the first time, what are some good questions to ask that one might not think about at an agency?

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❤️

Have you ever got caught freelancing for another agency while you’re full time at different one?

What’s the most time you guys have taken in between jobs? Is 1 week enough? What’s the perfect amount of time? I have the possibility to take 3 weeks… is that too much?

Is New York even worth it for advertising? I just looked for apartments and almost spit out my water on the prices for such bad quality.

Going in house is the move, right?

With the way this week has been going, Friday 13th with a harvest moon seems downright dangerous 🌚 halp

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

Media folks - how long does it take for you to turnaround a campaign results report?

Just had a great networking call with someone at a company I’d like to work for… should I follow up asking to be connected to another person on the team? I hear it is a good networking strategy.

How would you ask someone you just spoke with to be introduced to someone else?

Also, any general tips for maintaining a good relationship with someone you just networked with?

Hey Fishes. An early career question, Kindly take two minutes in your busy schedule to help me here? TIA!

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

How do you determine an agency that's right fit for you. I was thinking about giving a shot at GroupM. What are your views about the agency?

Any better agencies that also accept remote roles?

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.
