If you're freelance and do all the work for a campaign, but just don't produce it should you be allowed to put it in your book?

I've seen lots of creatives put work like this in their book, with a note that says they were responsible for concept, writing, selling, etc., but didn't produce. As long as you're honest about your role in the project I don't see why not. It's the same as being one of multiple writers on a large campaign—put it in your book but be clear about what you did and didn't do.

👆🏻Agree with Anomaly. Freelancers often aren't kept on through production, so how else can they keep their book fresh? For a FL creative, their livelihood depends on it.

The work we as FTEs do isn't technically ours either, at least from an IP standpoint. What's the difference?

In an ideal world yes, but I know all the freelancers that work with us sign an agreement saying anything they do is "ours" (meaning network).

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.
