Do you have a CW partner who could advocate with you? I am a CW and my partner runs into this issue. I always ask to add her to meetings about this stuff because she contributes as much as I do. Agencies have stopped differentiating between studio and art directors and designers. And if it makes you feel any better, my partner often has to ask to include me on production meetings because some people assume CWs aren’t involved past the script / headline. 🤦🏼♀️
Same here! Not gonna be able to take this for long. I came too far on my career to just simply make things look pretty... Anyway will try and find ally so they can bring me in
Same issue with copy, but different, when we are referred to as Copy while our art partners are Creative. My art partner frequently corrects others when he hears them say "creative and copy", and I frequently ask or defer to my art partner when I get asked a strategic question. We invite each other to the meetings we are missing from (even if we divide/conquer) to at least ensure we are seen to have a seat at the same table. If you don't have a partner, I'd just start asking project management and account to invite you to all so you can determine if you need or want to be there.
