I know most of the questions here will be on sexism or inclusion of POC but can we talk about ageism? Once we reach a certain age should we just leave the agency business? Is that fair?

My problem with this bowl is it makes me want one of each kind of cat I see here and I have neither the space nor the budget!

Please comment if you have any Idea... It will be very helpful for me.

Don't you think it's high time ppl start calculating in hand salary and how much % hike to ask n all?? I feel that's immatured behaviour when few of them ask these questions 😐

What do you do if you feel stuck in your career?

Creatives who have gone from agency to in-house then back to agency, was it difficult to find your way back to agency when talking to recruiters?

Joining a group that specializes in incident response. Any recommendations on things I can do this summer to prepare on fundamentals/certs?

M here who has a decent amount of random grey hairs. Rest of hair is very dark, close to black, so they stand out. Any recs on how to get rid of them?

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

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

How do they get away with it?

Dan Lucey is freaking awesome. But can Havas NY be saved?

Question for Gen Z’ers - what are some of the more annoying/toxic things about the agency world you have no patience for/ignore?

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 .

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

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.

If you do something on the side for extra cash (like drive for Uber) then lose your agency job in a layoff, does your little side gig disqualify you from collecting unemployment?

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?

Does anyone feel weird in the DEI space for all the identity politics of representation (which I understand progress is progress!) but it’s still within the system of capitalism because this is still... advertising? - coming from a BIPOC

Out of curiosity, how much $ did you start making before buying a pet?
