I’m currently interviewing and there’s something about the CCO that I’m getting a bad feeling about. But everyone says he’s great. Maybe I’m crazy?

Have you met the potential creative director or manager and you partner/team? I do interact with my full teams but less regularly than the creative directors

As an art director, I don’t believe you’ll deal with your CCO on a daily basis. If you like your team, go with it. You should be more thorough with your direct managers. They’ll have to deal with him.

NNormally I would say, go with your gut. But if everybody says he is a great guy, he probably is because you can’t keep a secret in this business.

Also, I ❤️ my CCO

Trust your gut and you will always be happier. While you may not deal with the CCO on a daily basis if you got bad feelings from just meeting them means it will probably only get worse if you take the job. If you don’t like or don’t trust the top Creative at a shop then you will not have a great experience.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
