I work in media, but I often have big ideas for creative for my brand. Creative is handled by a different agency. How can I get those ideas out there?

Pick a different career path because you are not in a role that dictates creative.

It depends. If you mean an activation idea which also meets the media brief but that needs creative to help sell in, then talk to the agency’s Account Director to see what they think of the idea. But if you mean ideas for creative that are more campaign-based, then it’s not likely that your idea has merit, primarily because the agency creatives are working from an established and agreed-to brief that stipulates specific expectations and parameters.

Agree with this. We often look to media partners for activation ideas, but never actual campaign creative input. This sort of overstepping can tank accounts.

‘Creative’ is the only job where everyone feels entitled to join in. I’ve never heard a creative say ‘I had an idea for a media plan’ to a media planner or ‘here’s how I’d handle the budget’ to an account. My guess is that wouldn’t be appreciated in most cases. But somehow, everyone’s got a tagline and an idea. All under the guise of ‘collaboration’.

If you want to be a creative, be a creative.

Does anyone else suffer with paralysis? Mine is so bad I don’t even know what to do anymore. In example, something as simple as responding to a text with a heart and a “happy thanksgiving to you too” was all I needed to do and I didn’t. Now it’s Sunday and I feel awful responding so late. I’m procrastinating with life errands and feeling the burn. I do the biggest bare minimum at work and I’m pretty sure people are started to notice. Everything is making my anxiety and overthinking worse.

Yesterday, we officially released the first version of Critter, a new app for iOS & Android geared toward pet owners/people who help take care of your pets. The basic idea is to make it simple to manage and share pet care with a mobile platform for tracking and communicating care updates.

It’s simple: add your pets. Invite people who help with their care (family, friends, professionals). Build a care plan. Track and share updates/pics/docs/etc.
