I’m searching for a mentor (7+ years experience) to help me evaluate the next step in my career. I need someone to help me sort out my options. I’m usually decisive so this confuses me!

It might be worthwhile to learn a bit of brand strategy. That tends to get into the business side of things a bit more. You might want to explore working for an innovation consultancy or design thinking shop vs an agency it will allow you to be both creative and strategic. IDEO. Fjord. Are good examples

Happy to advise. What’s up

Been at the same agency for a while and feel like I’ve reached the threshold for what I can learn under the ever-dwindling staff. I’ve always wanted to explore my creative side when it comes to content development. But part of me is also interested in more strategic marketing that is tied to concrete business goals. What are my options? Happy to answer any follow ups if this is too ambiguous

@Heat I’ve heard good things about your company. Hoping something opens up soon in NYC.

@SD1 I’ve looked into those companies or shops but don’t have any connections there. Do you have anyone from NYC in mind?

@Heat How many years of experience do your Directors have? I see something open in NYC

One of the women whose account I run has made a name for herself as a well-known wellness influencer. But, her life is a mess. I am not one to judge, and don't want to, but honestly there is a dark side to the socials. In a way, she's taking advantage of the fact that it's just screenshots of her life that she can curate how she wants. I know everyone is doing this to some degree, and there are redeeming qualities to SM - but at what point are we supporting something that's actually harmful?

How are you handling reviews/ reputation management for social media? For multiple (1000) location business? Talking with a client and this is part of scope.

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, it’s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaround…
