Assigned to one. It's the worst.

Also, each account thinks I’m tasked specifically to them. Been that way everywhere I’ve worked. This lie to the clients is one big reason they have unrealistic turn around expectations

Is it weird to be hired in for only one account?

Depends on the size of the account and agency. They may be bringing you in to fill a specific client FTE and will get a feel for where else you can pitch in. But no, it isn't weird.

@AD OP not at all. Depends on the size of your company vs the accounts. We do a lot of sports marketing and advertising where I work, so it's very diverse here.

Ah man, I've been searching for the right job after leaving my old job as assistant director of marketing at Fordham University last year. I specialize in video, illustration, logo/branding, web and social. It seems like getting a foot in the door anywhere is almost impossible without a referral these days. I'm looking to make some connections with other designers and maybe even someone that can refer me for the right position.

Looking to trade tips and tricks as well!

New to this freelance thing. Do I choose: 2 week opportunity with an amazing “dream” place vs a longer term gig doing a more interesting project. Or can I finangle the conversation so that...

I am BEYOND done with my account team. Every project is a hot one, everything is a priority, everything needs to be done EOD. Then, clients expect that speed every time. It’s unrealistic. And unfair.
