Being a good Creative is not about awards. It’s about solving problems in unique and impactful ways that help sell a product, idea, action, etc. if you succeed in that, you’re a good creative

Time and time again, nearly every creative with a career that I envy has told me that awards are a cancerous circle jerk.

I have 2 and I also still feel like a shit creative. But they did open doors for me to move to the states, which is good. But now I'm feeling the pressure to back it up. And the longer it goes on with no metal, the shitter I feel about myself. What sucks is I always told myself once I win a lion I'll believe in myself. Now I'm thinking once I win a gold I'll believe in myself. And if I ever get the gold I'm sure I'll want the grand prix. Point is, no matter how many you get it's never going to be enough to stop feeling like a fraud.

At the end it's not about the amount but about how long ago you got it, I think a shortlist this year is more valuable than a bronze from 10 years ago. You don't want to be that creative who only brags about old awards.

You don't need awards to be a "good" creative. Awards only get you promotions, job offers and more money. Who would want that!

Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

Hi fishes,

Has anyone recently transitioned from Microsoft one drive to a case management system, such as Clio? How was the transition?

Any tips on how to make the transition smoother is greatly appreciated!
