I always feel stuck doing tactical campaign work without much input on the big idea or brand platform. What do I need to do to start getting invited into those earlier-stage conversations rather than just getting briefs handed to me?

Add a short “insights & implications” section to your campaign recaps, share compact POVs on audience or channel trends, and volunteer to help on the next brief rather than waiting for it. Over time, teams start seeing you as someone who brings problem framing and insight, not just execution, which makes it natural to loop you in earlier.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?
