I wonder how I can turn this into an award winning idea for pop tarts...

funnylikeuplifting

Absolutely. For a moment, I felt bad about being “sidetracked” watching MSNBC instead of working right now.

Then I thought, 10, 20, 30 years down the line what will have been more important to me? What’s happening is horrifying, but it’s a part of American history that we need to watch, no matter how sad and stressful it is

Ogilvy UK Application Portal timelines?

I’ve been applying creative roles at Ogilvy on the portal. I applied for a senior writer and mid-weight creative role on the same day, and got rejected for one the next day and my status was “reviewed, not selected” but for the other it says “received submission”. I then realised it’s. the same status for some previous roles I’ve applied, as long ago as March. How long do they usually take to get back? Or should I just consider myself rejected?

A CD of my old agency doesn’t make cool stuff (he’s a ‘keeping shitty clients happy with mediocre work’ guy) but behaves on social media like he’s the man. He takes credit for the agency’s best work, or at least makes it look like he contributed.

No one in his team is happy and a lot of people burn out, but on social, he talks about work life balance as if he is one of the good guys.

It bothers me. He’s presenting himself as a great guy on social while reality is something else. 😡

Wondering the best path to take here. Do get a strategy role at a place I really want to be, then try to pivot into an AD role, or do just pay my dues and go to ad school? Trying to be realistic here
