Top 15 Agency (billings wise). Our CCO has told the creative dept the North Star for 2022 is awards. More specifically, Cannes. Forget New Business, client growth, client needs, sustainability, purpose. It’s silverware we need. For any accounts or strategy person, this is the shite we have to put up with. That’s how our careers grow and progress. So the next time we push for something ‘creative’ that’s why. Your career isn’t dependent on superficial crap. Ours is.

Has anybody joined the ACC? Is it worth it?

I've been in-house a few years and I have the legal skills needed to do my job down reasonably well. One thing I know I need work on is understanding skills and knowledge of working within the corporate world and skills needed for ascending to leadership roles.

Do you think it’s a bad time to job search? I’m currently in a role I actually enjoy with pretty good work/life balance and management that seems to like me, but the pay from what I can tell is well below market for talent, and the company is cutting costs so much that I don’t see them fixing the gap or giving us good bonuses or anything anytime soon (F500 level company by revenue for ref). That said, I’d hate to leave for more money only to get worked to death or laid off.

Is anyone here friends with their fellow colleagues? I started a remote job several months ago and no one goes into the office.
