What. What do you mean? Do you mean brainstorming, concepting, researching, seeking inspiration? If so yes all of that is part of the job it’s all billable hours.

If you mean sitting there, staring at the wall, thinking about what Sydney Sweeney would look like dressed up like Cortana from Halo…then no that’s not working.

Id like to revisit Sydney Sweeney…bill it. If you’ve done the prep you gotta let your subconscious kick in. The best way to do it is get your mind to wander for a while. I find a walk helpful, but everyone has their own process

Absolutely! As long as I'm thinking about that particular client/project in a productive way.

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve
