I haven’t looked at or cared about what the rest of agencies are doing in at least 2 years. Completely stopped going to adweek or any other trade pub sites - just don’t care at all. “But how will you know what’s been done already???” I don’t. It doesn’t matter.

Honestly I'm sorry that's the case for you. That's like a musician who doesn't enjoy listening to other bands/artists or a chef who doesn't go out to eat at other restaurants.

I absolutely wouldn't be able to slog through this job if I didn't feel inspired by other creatives in it.
