How often do you all work late nights or weekends? I’m very new into my first brand side gig and have worked a few late nights in a row due to a tight deadline. Hopefully an early exception not the norm…

I do this regularlyy. The caveat is that this business is very seasonal, so while there are weeks/months of nonstop activity, there are also periods where things come pretty much to a standstill and I'm only really working 10-15 hours a week. It all balances out, but the busy stretches are exhausting.

almost never on weekends but since the company is globally dispersed, i kind of have to find times to work to either catch up or meet deadlines. i'm on east coast and a lot of my team is west coast so i usually work a little first thing, take a good 2-3 hour gym break, then work until like 5,6,7 or so. i rarely work after that unless it's like journey mapping or something that takes awhile.

Compared to agency side, less often, when consistently every week was working late. But unfortunately start of this year had been very bad and I’ve been working on and off long nights as a new responsibility is added. Idk it’s also on us to set boundaries right? It’s more possible on brand side.

Hey everyone please share ur quarterly ratings

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
