If I mute the sound and put my hand over the logo, I can't tell who this commercial is for.

Haha. If I turn off my television and walk away, I won’t know we had a commercial running, wtf.

Response: Maybe if your product was actually distinctive and revolutionary to the category it would be able to stand on its own. Maybe if you let us create an unmistakeable brand identity that only you could own in this space, you could cover that logo and know who it was for. You haven’t let us do that yet. An your budgets aren’t buying that level of work."

Client would like creative rationale behind not putting subtitles on the TV spot in case viewers have TV on mute. Wonders if creative has any solutions around how to convey VO talent in subtitles? How can we use creative to ensure viewed won’t change channel or walk away?

You just can't make stuff like this up. I didn't know how to respond and keep my job.

Man, that’s a sad story OP. I cringe when I think about having to respond to that sort of comment. But in a way, I think that this client has an excellent point. Why would anyone want to look at most of the things that get made, much less listen to them? Maybe a good goal for this, and every client, is to make films that are so interesting that people want to have the sound on.

I have accepted an offer for the role of Director of Data Science & Analytics and I'll be working with old colleagues. I am very excited. I haven't given notice yet because I am waiting for the background check to complete, but my boss just asked me about traveling to a meeting in November. I start at the new job Oct 25. I'm really struggling for how to respond. If I were not leaving it is absolutely a meeting I should be at. I don't want to respond with a lie. Any dvice on how to respond?

Also posted over in tech bowl. Looking for advice on whether pursue a CS degree. I’m an older guy shifting to SWE. I finished bootcamp last May & about to start my first jr role at Oracle OCI. Late 30’s with a couple of kids. Is it worth it for me to seek a CS degree at this time/soonish? I’m not afraid of the extra work, and would go part time. Wondering if the eventual payoff would worth the effort. Will I level up quicker? Employer has partial tuition reimb.
