I recently moved up to ACD from Group copy sup (title attached to my account is outdated) and I feel like it has been by far the biggest jump of my career. Is it normal to feel like you went from the best group copy sup to an ACD that is struggling to find their footing? Managing and delegating instead of being in on the day-to-day aspects of the brand has been a tough thing to get the hang of. Any advice for a brand new ACD?

Does the IRS allow LIFO/Specific ID tax lot methods for selling crypto? And if so, do I somehow need to specify my choice of method at the time of sale, or just down the road when filing taxes? I use CB Pro and don’t see any settings for selecting methods like in my traditional brokerage account.

Need help on how to invest. We are positioned to pay off our house later this year. Expect to work for another ~20 years. 401k fully funded and have some company stock investments maturing over the next few years, but no investments outside of that.

IMO I’ve never seen more pharma jobs open. And I keep seeing so many people in non-pharma looking for new jobs... well, we’ve got them. What’s the disconnect? Why do you think people won’t make the switch?

Got offered a pharma/healthcare role (currently work consumer side). 15% more than current role, lateral move, remote for now of course. Not sure if I should take the offer or not, given I have no experience in pharma & health. I said I would sleep on it. Advice?

Sooo who’s working on Pfizer’s covid vaccine?

What are salary rates for an Art Director in NYC these days? $90k $80k?

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?

Is there special experience or knowledge you'd need to be effective at a GCD level in Pharma? Or is it like any other account, just different products? I'm considering making the switch from general market advertising.

What’s considered a good copy supervisor salary?

Could someone please explain the creative hierarchy in pharma? In general market the roles are normally: JR CW, CW, SR CW, ACD, CD, GCD, ECD. How are creative supervisor roles the same/different? Thx!

Hey there, new and curious fish. Are you considering a position in pharma? Worried about how creative you can be? Thinking if the salary is worth it? Ask your questions about entering the world of healthcare advertising here and we’ll answer.

I’m a 62-year-old CD. Am I the oldest living creative in the business? Just curious how many 50- or 60-plus fishies are out there

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics
