I need a social media detox but I work heavily on social media accounts that rely on me being plugged into social culture. Anyone know any newsletters or some kind of daily round up I can leaf through instead of scrolling? Tysm 💘

I got an opportunity at IBM ISDL as application developer. How is the work culture, learning opportunities and annual hikes?

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

Best consulting firms to work for that will allow 100% remote work indefinitely regardless of what clients do?

Recommendations for firms to look into in South FL? I'm in Ft. Lauderdale but am open to Boca or Miami. I'm a first year associate in ID (coverage issues) but really would prefer transactional work. More importantly though, I'm looking for companies who pay relatively well (doesn't necessarily have to be market), are open to remote/hybrid work, aren't sweatshops. I'd settle for insurance work if theres good WLB & $$$ lol

I’m a copywriter hoping to find a designer/art director potential partner that is passionate about social change. I want to create something meaningful... anyone picking up what I’m putting down?

I wish I had more faith in myself.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

Is WFH really ever going to end? I see the benefits of in-person at times, but does it really out weigh remote? As an industry we’ve done it almost two years! How likely is it places that are going to tentatively be hybrid actually follow through?

Pre and post production routines/tips/etc? Ive always worked with my CD on productions, but going into my first solo. Any tips? Thank you!

Hi. Can I bounce some ideas for a spot off one of ya?

Strategies for getting a job at Wieden + Kennedy:

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.

I'm redesigning my site and I'm sick of Squarepace. What are your favorite web designing platforms?

My coworker, who was my friend for a long time, has been lying to me, throwing me under the bus, and taking credit for my work and ideas. I have done more and worked harder than him but he was promoted. He failed a new client big time and I was asked to step in and save the relationship which I did in a big way. Why do I have to work so hard every day while he gets away with scraping by and plagiarizing? How do you deal with a coworker like that?

I’ve always been comfortable concepting and writing. But when it comes to nitty gritty logistical stuff, I struggle. Like the discussions about aspect ratios, social post timelines, and the nuances of Facebook collection ads.

Can any other writers relate?

Is anyone else feeling completely hopeless about their job? Two years ago I still had so much zest and love for advertising. And now I feel miserable working long late hours and almost every weekend. I am underpaid because we’ve been on a freeze for over a year even though I’ve been promised one. I have no more motivation left in me to keep going. This job is killing me but I have no idea what else I could do. Any advice on getting out?

I love Instagram, I really do! But sometimes I feel that as a creative the thought of "sticking" to an aesthetic makes me cringe! I feel that art & inspo should be free flowing - not confined to a box

Fallon NYC, how’s it like? Are there opportunities for creatives? Is there mentorship?
