I know this question has been asked plenty of times before. But help me out here:

I was asked to think of a celebrity that would be great as an ambassador for an event. Client went with the person I selected. I contributed a few initial content ideas but ultimately I didn’t get to work on the execution at all (bummer).

My question is: what’s the ethics on putting the ending results in my book? And how should I speak on the work if I put it in my book?

Is a celeb ambassador at an event the type of work you want in your book? Unless you’re in PR or influencer, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Put 👏 that 👏 sh*t 👏 in 👏 your 👏 book

If the idea still would have ended the way it did without you, don’t credit yourself. BUT you gave the suggestion that made the idea what it is, so absolutely credit yourself.

If you functioned as an art director (as in, gave direction throughout the project to whoever executed the work), then yes! Put it in your book. But make sure to credit who designed and produced. People looking at your portfolio understand these things happen in teams, not isolation.

I wouldn't put it in.

There are great, award winning scripts that I wrote a joke or a line for, or wrote the platform line for, but I didn't make the TVC, so I can't claim ownership and they aren't in my book.

Did the idea change based on the celebrity? Or was it more [insert whatever celebrity here]? If the idea is based around the celebrity’s persona, and the execution would have been way different without them, then it seems fair to mention your role. Otherwise, probably not.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
