I’m kind of impressed by Vayner’s ascent. Two years ago they were a laughing stock, now they’re winning D&AD and One Show pencils.

Speaks more to the descent of the festival than the ascent of the agency.

I think the takeaway here is that awards mean less than people think, not that Vayner is better than people think.

Vayner gets a lot of sh*t because of Gary. Otherwise, there are worse places to work at.

Agreed! I like some of the stuff they’ve done for Budweiser. It’s legitimately good work.

awards are very political and unfortunately carry too much prestige. (Speaking as someone who has won a few awards).

As someone who has worked at a bunch of “respected shops” and also Vayner- I will say, if I owned a business- I’d hire Vayner over anywhere else I ever worked. Love em or hate em, they are so freaking smart it’s annoying. I don’t work there anymore but honestly miss it and that’s weirdly annoying too lol

If you’re in the nyc ad scene you know they hired a CCO who is an award hound (but who also historically loses accounts), and they got 1 project to hit.

It’s a step forward, but look at the quality of the rest of the work. It’s still pretty awful across the board.

Call me back when they’ve strung together more than a project or two.

No respect for Gary “vee” not now, not ever - but glad people feel better about working there now.

Tech-confession: Went back to being a Tech leader in Industry from a Tech consultant (SM) in a big4 earlier this year and had forgotten all about all night long deployments. This past weekend was a rude reminder. Stayed up all night to troubleshoot servers, deploy files and monitor performance with the team.

In comparison, consulting was literally so cushy.

However, as a benefit, I now get to use Visual studio more than powerpoint.
