As a person with international goals, it was the only way for me to get to where I am I think. But those of my classmates that stayed local could have saved themselves at least half of the program (and some actually did so and got on equally fine, just locally).

On a tight deadline, time box it to one Deck of Brilliance prompt every 10 minutes, you’ll surprise yourself with how much better your ideas are. Or get the book “Cutting Edge Advertising” by Jim Aitchison which has its own prompts that are even better than the Deck of Brilliance.

How to create a Big Idea, and turning that into an Integrated campaign. Also an overview of different departments: accounts, media, strategy to enhance teamwork. Started building some industry connections as well. I couldn't see myself where I am today without ad school, honestly.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
