I’m experiencing a production drought. No less then three big campaigns green lit and then cancelled last minute for reasons ranging from economic to legal. Been stuck in deck purgatory for nearly a year. I know it will end eventually but man … I’m having a hard time getting motivated for the next brief. Can anyone relate?

Go hang out with your juniors who are making social content. Learn how to make content without the big production. You don't need the big budgets to make really good video work. Take this time to learn a more nimble approach. Take out your iPhone and make your own spot and open up Premiere and edit it yourself.

Lol

Sometimes this is a sign to switch agencies before the year becomes two…

People who read up on web3 stuff - can’t you help but feel like we’re inevitably moving towards that model, when you see Facebook, Apple, and Google doing the things they’re doing? Had a meeting with my team where we realized over half of our services and campaigns are being affected one way or the other by all of this. And big agencies seem to be struggling too. A bit of a side note topic, but would love to chat and get insight from anyone who’s following too.

So two great interviews and left it with the MD wanting me to meet the ECD next. Been over a week and no set up for next round. Sent a follow up yesterday no response. Guess I just hold? Labor Day throwing a wrench? Don’t want to be a pest but want this gig bad. Might have a freelance thing come on. Maybe if I get that I can add some pressure but the wait is weighing.
