I’m crying 😭💀

Well, since agencies stopped having inhouse Music Directors, their blow tab hasn't been anywhere near as big.

I think Joe Grigsby runs the account from the VML side. Joe is the man.

He ran away like two years ago cause the client sucks but ya he is the man

Fast-paced.

Even worse, it's worse organized on the client side than it is on the agency side. Really subpar client talent is what makes that account tough for a lot of great talent that have worked with the best and toughest in the industry that can't seem to make coke get out of their own way to get things done

Many many clients across media, social, creative, influencer, commerce etc and then global and in each region. So depends on which client set you are asking about?

What brand and what commerce sector matter did they tell you

I’ve only been on it for just a few months and it seems very fast-paced. But they’re so huge, I assume it varies a lot.

I’ve heard from people who’ve been on the account for a while that it can get very disorganized, as there are a lot of decision makers to go through.

This is just my experience so far. It could be completely different at other agencies or for other projects.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Should I update my LinkedIn to say Salesforce Admin? I’ve been certified since October, so I have the role in my headline, but I’m thinking it’s time to update it in my work experience. I have been transitioned to work on only Salesforce related items with the company’s Salesforce Admin. When I asked my boss about a title change, however, they said that it’s doable but want to wait until performance reviews so they can couple it with a pay increase. As nice as this sounds I feel like It’s BS.
