If you’re white like me it’s so important to realize that we were raised in a society where institutionalized racism is normalized, and we were born with privilege. You can’t choose the color of your skin, but you can choose to put ego aside and reflect on why this isn’t happening to me, and be vocal about being anti-racist.

Bahahahha expecting to be trained in advertising? Bless your heart… Go and work for real companies, not ad agencies
There’s nothing I like better to discover in a new employee than a penchant for drama.
SA1: Also, a Senior Analyst who can’t tell “you’re” from “your.” And I am proud of my title because for 20 years I avoided drama like this, or moved on quickly from it. You can take the (very) hard road to fight this with your existing agency, or consider finding a better job and learn from the experience in your next hiring negotiation. People are
dying to hire senior level talent everywhere now. Why stress trying extract your blood from a stone that’s aggrieved you? Take your skills and move along. This is a business that is rife with shifty behavior; sorry for the rude introduction to that reality, but welcome.

HR is in the business of protecting the company. I might tell your manager’s manager but don’t expect them to do anything.
Come back to MediaHub!
Just leave. Lying about the time they’ll train you is not illegal, so there’s no punishment you can enforce or way to keep them from doing it to someone else. If you have an exit interview, mention it as your reason for leaving, but they’re only going to care if it’s raised by multiple people.
“Pend”🤮
What was their reasoning for not training you? Do they have someone else in mind to guide you?
Thank you! And I have actually!
Why did you take a job you didn’t know how to do? If you’re new to the business, it is about learning the hard way. Buck up, you’re in a creative industry, don’t expect a corporate approach. Learn by doing. It’s chaotic but it works in time.

So you’re not developing and demonstrating skills fast enough and you want to claim that is their fault not yours?

I’m just going by the info in comments and the OP’s own language choices. It sounds like they think there is a conspiracy against them that they feel they have no role in whatsoever — seems unlikely
When I was a junior, I had no one but myself. No partner, no one above me had any time for me and my manager was in over their head and couldn’t make any time for me either. It was really hard but I grew so much in a year and a half, on top of being completely self-sufficient. I was quickly promoted and I’m so glad that I wasn’t waiting on other people to teach me. I taught myself. A lot was trial and error but I never gave up and it eventually clicked.
I have carried that attitude with me throughout my career and is why I think I have advanced in my career pretty quickly.
There is never going to be an ideal situation but how you deal with it, is up to you. You can control that.
If you are looking for this much hands on training maybe you should still be an intern.
Some of these comments are rude so I'll comment. Entry-level roles and even associate roles can be learned and done well by anyone, despite previous experience. That's why we have to "fake it till you make it." It is not rocket science. You just need to learn. If your team won't invest in you, it's definitely a red flag. Nobody knows 100% what they're doing and there's always something to learn. For example, old talent sometimes welcome new talent's creative ideas. Everyone needs help.
As a current MediaHub employee, I was fortunate to receive help from the higher ups but also learned that it took them way longer to learn what I learned in a few short months. But to be on a team that doesn't want to help you at all? Unacceptable.
