How do people get on these AdAge, AdWeek, Forbes Under lists? Companies paying for them? Or just knowing the right connects there?

Talk to your agency comms team. They often lead submissions putting people forward—some are paid, others are not.

Keep an eye on Adweek opportunities. Aside from AOTY, Adweek people awards tend to be free and you can self-nominate if you can access the nomination link. Forbes is highly competitive but it is free, and you can also self-nominate. Business Insider used to have a program that was also free. Ad Age, Campaign, The Drum talk to your agency comms team, those cost several hundred dollars. Your chances of winning are slim if your name isn't attached to any campaigns or initiatives that have amassed significant business results or garnered press results.

There are wink-wink deals for coverage that involve tables at awards dinners and tons of follow up from your agency comms person. Coordination of how you are framed including your hiring narrative and the work / client approval to mention the work don’t come cheap.

This is a paid sponsorship except we don’t call it that.

What BCD1 said. Talk to your agency comms team. Not all of this is Pay To Play, it's more PR To Play.

How do you get in touch with the folks that run this PR? LinkedIn? Any specific people worth befriending?

Just mock a fake one up and post it on linkedylink

I’m not from an English speaking country but I am watching a tv show and businessmen walk into a room and instead of greeting eachother, everyone says each person’s first name in lieu of hi, however in my experience working in the states, I haven’t seen anyone do this, it’s always hi or good afternoon or some other greeting first THEN they say their first name. is it also appropriate to omit the greeting?

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.

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❤️

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 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 .
