I suppose it was inevitable that Cannes now has a “Grand Prix Titanium.“ Gold was becoming somewhat déclassé — almost vulgar — as the top level for awards, credit cards, loyalty program tiers, etc. So, in the hive-mind way that these things happen, it was overtaken, first by platinum, then by titanium in the top spot. But, as precious-metal inflation marches on, even titanium is starting to seem pedestrian. What’s next? I have my eye on plutonium.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

VMLY&R merged with Geometry, to develop the "most powerful commerce capability and ad agency at global scale", who's worked with them because this seems like a stretch based on my experience with both.

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Can we really just not with April Fools ads? So cringe inducing, so bandwagon-y, so god damn corny & depressingly expected...🤢

Anyone still being asked to come into the office for pitches?

I need infographic tips please!

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones
