I know this has been discussed to death but I’m even kind of shocked how often I’m seeing people being laid off these days. What do we think the end game is for advertising? The way it’s going now it doesn’t seem good.

While the industry might be downsizing a bit, Agencies will always exist for clients to blame

likefunnyuplifting

Funny but, AI is way cheaper to put the blame on.

That’s very true. I wonder what those of us who are being downsized with limited prospects/bad job market are going to do.

Someone needs to make the ads, even it’s just overseeing the AI. Clients need to start paying higher hourly rates to stabilize our industry.

I haven’t seen many lay offs on the client services side. If anything we need more people.

Literally no AS people at my last place but the creatives were the first to go 🙄

It’s more about the economy than advertising. Many industries are downsizing.

I’ve been wondering too. Feels like the pie has shrunk and will never go back.

It's a grand investor-led experiment to see how long the industry can stay airborne with no financial support. Fire the pilots and see if the cabin crew can fly the plane.

There seems to be just as much advertising as ever, but I'm not sure who's producing it. I can see a few of the duties going to AI, but design and production still need a human eye, brain, and hand.

Are designers and producers moving out into the sticks? Overseas?
