I’m interviewing for a high profile brand side position and the interview process is quite intense. The next one involves some of the lead designers. What qualities in a mid level writer would you want to see as a designer? I’m guessing they’re more creative and collaborative designer roles than agency side.

I’ve interviewed creatives who are writers before, and personally was always curious on their collaborative approach especially with visual/design ppl: can you equally be responsible for the creative idea while trusting others for their crafts, how does a usual creative project roll out when you work with designers, etc. though my bkg is mostly branding so I’d be more specific on verbal and vis id of a brand, which is a slightly different dynamics than advertising writers + production designers.

What are the kinds of things you look for in a writer? I’m the opposite of a micro manager. I love to see what a designer can come up with and add to a project. I’m a very ‘yes and’ type
person.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.

Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.
