I’m an ACD and another agency reached to me for a GCD role. I’m suspicious, so what should I ask in the initial interview to determine if it’s a good gig or not?

Sorry to say but if they’re asking an ACD to be a GCD than it’s a major 🚩🚩🚩

If you don’t take the job, that person who thinks they can make the leap from junior producer to CD will.

I remember this! Perfect example. Shall we share the posting?

My first question would be “do you know what ACD stands for?”

Is it a startup or extremely small agency?

like

Small-to-medium, about 200 employees nationwide

The Agency Who Called You:

“We want a Group Creative Director, but don’t want to pay for them or set them up for success.”

Their Recruiter:

“Let’s just see if an ACD will take this without doing any of their homework.”

Probs a mistake tbh. A recruiter reached out to me with a VP role. I still took the call, Even tho she was a professional mess in the call, it was still worth it bc the agency had other positions open at my level

Follow up, could ask if they can take this role down a notch to CD.
