I’m at a point where I can’t tell if it’s just me needing better boundaries or if this is just what advertising looks like now. The burnout from constant “always-on” campaign cycles and overlapping product launches is NO JOKE.

This is a weird time in the industry. Don’t lose your boundaries completely, but also be ready for them to be pushed.

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.
