I think they’ve been aura farming their Nike work for a while now and outside of that (okay maybe the espn sportscenter work too) so many of their ad campaigns are like bahaha quirky randomcore 😜 . If you told me W+K made the movie everything everywhere all at once I would believe you.

Great take. Nike and ESPN (and perhaps Old Spice) were legitimately brilliant and built their reputation. But everything else just feels self-consciously emo.

It remains to be seen what happens in a longish term now that the founders have passed. That is always a very tricky transition for companies (not just agencies) to navigate. I know that they devised all types of failsafes for the agency to remain independent, and it probably will, but keeping it as the great creative agency it has always been, is a different and I believe more difficult thing.

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol
