He was drafted by the Giants, not the Chiefs...

Agreed. Current ECD is awesome. We’re currently growing a lot. Pitching a lot of new biz. Seeing a lot of great campaigns come out of the creative department. Really talented people here. Obviously there are negatives. Definitely some growing pains as the company tries to expand but they’re putting in a good effort

Great for creatives. ECD is amazing.

Reading all of this kind of makes me want to move back. If Katy was the ECD at the time I probably wouldn’t have left.

Used to work there. Fun place. The current ECD is awesome.

It’s definitely not perfect but I’m surrounded by legitimately incredible people who I respect creatively and love personally. Hiring a ton of people right now due to departures but also new biz wins.

Just applied for an ACD Copy position (because I’m that desperate to get out of my current shitty agency. Here’s hoping.

@GCD1 I’d say it’s part of the current growing pains. Barkley recently consolidated its departments into the larger Barkley brand whereas before, departments like design and digital were separate because they were companies Barkley had acquired. But also I know a lot of the people leaving are because they moved on to bigger cities and industries, which just happens

I'm a fan of the creative leadership, have heard good things about the balance & pay

Any insights into why the departures en mass?

I used to do staffing. Involved cold calling And spamming clients and emails. People treated recruiters as middlemen, a noise and felt disrespectful.

But it’s not easy profession - to specialize and win in a niche.

I know it could be automated and give an experience to candidates and clients by making it ondemand, instant and specialization. I saw a Vision to turn this recruiting business into ondemand staffing companies like Airbnb - just publish talent and do the transaction.

Thoughts on the below role?

Got messaged about an analyst job doing the preliminary discovery stuff including dashboards. But not for the business, but to give recommendations to data scientists about where to focus. Having been a modeling DS, I can't imagine why I'd outsource exploratory analysis. Anyone seen a team like this before?

Also worried about career prospects. I've been wanting to turn business facing, but becoming the only DA on a DS team seems like it'd be a dead end with promos?

Need some advice. Started working at a small real estate marketing agency about 2 months ago. Pay is good but…It’s absolutely toxic. The CEO is a jerk.
