I always thought I would produce more as a CD, cause you have teams under you. Have been at my agency for 6 months and nothing have gotten out the door. Some projects’ budget got killed or delayed because of the current economic climate and there have also been multiple proactive-ish projects that went nowhere. I was so used to producing 1-2 pieces per year as ACD and senior creative previously. Is this normal at network agency?

Certain brands can have you spin your wheels for months or even longer. It’s painful.

If you have a good pro-bono idea, and the agency doesn’t support it, just try doing it yourself.

So much Cannes winning work only got submitted because the agency latched on to work creatives did in their spare time without the agency being involved at all.

Honestly I could have written that myself. So close in fact, that I had to make sure it wasn’t me in my sleep.

It's not just you, it's a weird and uncertain time for a lot of agencies at the moment

Is it a new agency for you too?

I don’t think it’s a title thing as much as an agency/client/remit thing.
