I won in the student category at the Clio Awards, but the ticket costs $800. I'm based in NY and currently job hunting here. Do you think it's worth it? I think buying a dress might be okay since I can wear it again later…

Email the Clios and see if they’ll help you. Ticket prices are designed for agencies to pay, not students. You’re not going to find an enormous number of job opportunities there so I would say save the cash unless you can get the ticket heavily discounted. Congrats on the award though!

Truly I understand that there aren't many opportunities. I've emailed them and am waiting for their response. Thank you!

First off, congratulations.

To your problem: dress as a pizza delivery person and once you’re inside the venue, hit the bathroom, open the pizza container to reveal your amazing dress. Put it on, freshen up and have the night of your life. Be sure to put your story on your socials (you’re in advertising after all). Become Internet famous and land a killer job because of your metaphorical balls and talent. Do this and become legendary.

Want to go viral?

Have someone record you going up on stage and accepting the award dressed in a Burger King uniform.

Apologize for the outfit but “given that there’s no opportunities in the industry right now you had to come straight from your current job.”

You’ll get way more press and job offers than you’ll know what to do with ; )

Congrats on the win!

The ticket is sold out, the Clio manager reached out to me, and no one can purchase it on the official website now.

Congrats!!!! Cool experience for sure but probably not worth $800 imo. Re-evaluate if they offer you a discounted price!

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that.

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.
