Terrible creative leadership in NY? Maybe because there’s a content guy in charge? 🤦🏽‍♀️

How was Ronald? He moved to isobar amirite? Seems to be one of those people who has the midas touch and wins everywhere he goes.

Having worked in the Publicis network in NYC I will tell you they’ve chased away all their creative talent the last 5 years and went headfirst into consultant-like talent. It hasn’t panned out and most of the agencies are in really rough shape. As account or strategy Digitas is fine, but if you’re creative I’d stay at Grey and keep looking for better. If they don’t turn it around (I don’t think they will), it may be hard to get out. Sorry to be negative but that’s the cold truth.

Agree.

Discussion about creative greatness is the first step of a journey you don’t want to be on, Grey OP.

Digitas has a long way to go before they’ll be doing good work. We are not oriented to do so as an organization. We don’t have the right creative leadership. And even if we did, there are a lot of growing pains after that.

Digitas has not been a creatively led shop, but they’re in a strong position within the Publicis network and there’s been some encouraging discussion recently around pushing for more consistent creative greatness. There seems to be enough support for that idea that it’s going to be a focus for Digitas this year and that should create opportunities to produce good work. The culture has been great in my experience, but I’m not in New York. I’ve heard from some in New York that it’s difficult to leave Digitas there, but hopefully this shift by leadership will change that by putting good work into their portfolios. (Not that they’d necessarily want to leave if they’re getting more book pieces, but it’s still nice to be wanted.)

How do you deal with parental guilt when you have to miss things? When my child was a baby it wasn't as big of a deal as long as I was around for the big stuff and was pulling my weight parent wise. Now that they're 4+ everything is big stuff, and every time I can't be there it really affects them. I know being successful in my career will set them up for the future, but it feels like I'm letting them down right now.
