Is there any way to block both Breaking & Entering and that Tombras ACD on LinkedIn? I’m just so done with the c suite bread and circus…

Haha. I feel you. I liked Breaking & Entering at the start but now they’ve revealed themselves as paid PR for agencies, they’re insufferable. The way they were talking about the IPG Omnicom merger revealed their true colors to me. (“Hey Whoah, isn’t this cool… let’s crash through a whiteboard and ask CBH a puff piece question that paints this positively.”) Yuechhh. Yeah that Tombras ACD is the worst. I’d say delete and block and replace with some creatives who are inspiring: Cooper Olsen, Ben Kay, Sarah Keats, and Dave Trott for ad history, always make me head nod… I genuinely enjoy their writing whenever their posts come up on my feed.

It's crazy to me that people with zero experience and limited, mediocre work examples have somehow become a go-to voice for agency world.

Hate to agree, but you’re spot on. Celebrating creatives signing at other agencies is creative in the moment but overall cringy.

Currently a first year staff in Risk Advisory in a Mid-Tier Firm hoping to move to Big 4 for either Risk or Cyber. When would be the most appropriate time to make the change? I heard that Senior Staff in mid-tier would most likely be hired as an “Experienced Hire” in Big 4. So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?

Strategies for getting a job at Wieden + Kennedy:

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
