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.

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

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
