Absolutely, it’s where directors hone their director chops. And they should be reporting to a full-stripe director who is helping to shepherd the team and its development

Yes, it happens, especially in larger agencies. In my last Agency I was an ACD and had 4 direct reports (a junior team and a middle weight team).

If you’re at a bigger agency for sure, in fact you should. Managing is part of the gig, or it should be.

Definitely. It’s awesome to have them to report to. They generally have more time for you than a CD because they have slightly fewer meetings to go to.

I did.
