I guess it is, but I don't know the worth of it. It made sense 10 years ago when digital and traditional advertising was two separate tracks that required specialized digital agencies like AKQA, R/GA, Huge, etc.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
