I wish I worked in advertising in 1960 in the golden age before this digital silliness.

You should really look for a new job then. Digitas isn't hanging on to people that aren't thinking progressively and are stuck in the past. Have you thought about a travel agency or maybe a stock broker?

I also disagree. Fundamentals haven't changed much if you strip all the industry jargon :) my problem is the speed of digital creative cycles

Wow. This is about one thing - a focus on creative ideas first and foremost. There are many smart ad people who share that view. My post was intentionally sarcastic to make the point. You'll see the pendulum swing back to creative at some point. It always does. If you really want to think progressively, look back first and then forward. Now lay off so I can pour myself a martini.

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
