We are trying to do more creative work. And we’ve done some really great stuff in the past year. Are we worthy of being #4 on A List? Who knows... Everyone has their own opinion. But it feels good to be recognized. Especially as a creative who comes from the traditional advertising world. We aren’t the best, but we aren’t as bad or undeserving as everyone thinks.

I like Edelman 1’s humble perspective.

This year’s A-List recognized the new shape of the industry. Edelman, Giant Spoon, Work + Co, even Mullen Lowe as media agency of the year. Times are changing and we shouldn’t try to judge what type of company does or doesn’t belong.

Ad Age is a a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

I agree with the above. Glad to see ad age evolve in what they count as agencies especially since advertising has evolved completely

Honestly that whole list is devolving into “agencies that are coziest with and pay the most money to AdAge"

D2, it is true that Abbey Klaassen was an AVP and editorial Director at ad age for some time. Perhaps the whiz bang of the maze on Alexa was more what impressed but it’s a fair point. And ACD, yes, I agree about Edelman. Two of their departed creative leaders are good friends and that place by their accounts and others appears a toxic one for creatives of all stripe.

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

Hey Recruiters, stop trying to connect with me on LinkedIn when I don’t know you - no you can’t have access to my contact. When you do send me message, maybe do a little home work. And when you do work with a candidate, update them regularly - it’s not that hard.
