I am freelancer with a month to month contract that ends in a few days. I think my current agency wants to renew. I have an offer for another place for 6 months. How much notice should I give? I have little more than a week I can give. Is that enough ?

It’s a nice to do but you as a freelancer you technically don’t have to give any notice. You can tell them on Monday that Friday is your last day and that’s more than fair.

It is best to give 2 weeks, but as a contractor you only need to give what is outlined in your contract. You have to do what is best for you!

I say give them the notice and see if they'll try to incentivize you to stay on, if they need you. A lil pressure can help them decide if they need that extension

Even without LinkedIn, I see a lot of people younger than me in much better roles. They started off with relevant jobs right out of college. I graduated in 2009 when the economy tanked and worked in retail for years before I was finally able to land in corporate. Does anybody else struggle with this as well? I’m constantly comparing myself to others who are younger than me.

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
