Is there much of a benefit to getting a degree first, or did everyone here just jump right into the field of advertising? Lots of people seem to do well in this career despite their lack of formal education.

Hello, interesting question, in my opinion always having a degree facilitates the labor path, not everything is learned in school but not everything is learned without it. If you want to be part of this world I recommend you to study and strive for a degree.

A degree can open more doors, but it's not a requirement. This is especially true if your goal is smaller tech companies. In such a rapidly changing industry, someone who has proved they can learn without hand-holding can even be an asset.

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!
