How are agencies and brands navigating Omnicom’s growing insistence that all production/post-production be routed internally, even when it doesn’t make sense?

Need some advice.. thoughts on SetSail.

Taking a trip up to NYC in a couple weekends and am looking into two Vacherons. This would be the first of mine from this brand. I like the Overseas chronograph with the black dial and the dual time with the back dial (as u can tell I really want a black dial). Anyone have any advice or insight into shopping with Vacheron?

Layoffs. Most big firms say they're sitting on a conservative pile of cash - which I believe is true - but work will obviously not return to pre-COVID levels in the short term, probably not even in the medium term. Are Biglaw layoffs coming?

Any doing RE work for in-house healthcare? I’m curious about pay.

At what point when we get our GC can we bring in parents in home country to the US? Is it only in conditions where we can prove they need our assistance? Is it possible to at least ask for extended visit time for them if not fully living here? Thank you.

Hi All,

Vayner? Anomaly? Ogilvy? Which one to jump to? Account Mgtm!

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❤️

Why do some art directors only really start looking at stuff at the 11th hour? Thus forcing people to stay late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend.

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
