I’m working with a manager who likes to prioritize his ideas over strategic research, I want to be helpful because it’s very distressing to watch ideas being presented without the appropriate research, any advice?

You're better than me. I would allow him to follow his idea right around to the consequences of presenting it without research. Some people just need to learn the lesson themselves if they aren't ready to hear it from others. Aside from that, maybe a quick chat after the idea is first discussed (hopefully before presentation) about how research should go to make it happen? Potentially allowing him to feel like he's more a part of the process could feed his ego and allow him to see where he's going wrong without you having to say it explicitly. Hope this helps.

I mean...I think it's just having the gumption to question why. Why is that needed, why is that happening, or whatever. I think connecting that back to marketing (if we have specific feedback from customers, we can use that in our comms) helps make the case for it

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money.

I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽
