If you decided to leave advertising today, and have thought about other jobs you might you want to pursue (especially throughout 2020), what have they been? I’ll start (and be honest):

Coffin Maker.
Obituarist.

Move to a sketchy beach town and take over their local ad market. Live my life making easy billboards, newspaper ads, and signs on reasonable deadlines with little rounds of revisions— swim in the sea, eat cheap tacos, drink a margarita every night, and walk my dog on the beach.

Hi guys
Had a query regarding Salesforce strategy roles.

Is it worth trying for strategy roles after 2 years in Tech Strategy projects at EY ? Or is there something more specific that I should be doing ?

Observed on LinkedIn that generally an MBA from Tier 1 University is the norm.

I am interested to apply to Salesforce in the future, if not now.

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
