Some insider insight:

We have been consistently growing fast for a few years and have notoriously low turnover compared to the industry. So there are always many open positions, but we're pretty serious about getting the hires right from both a culture fit perspective and a talent perspective.

In the creative department, having Jeff on board has been a boon for raising the bar on talent recruiting.

We also now have full service offices in NYC and Atlanta in addition to Knoxville and Charlotte.

I disagree wholeheartedly with the notion that Tennessee is "not a desirable place to live." I'm not going to stand on my pulpit and give a sermon about why you should consider it, because it's not right for everyone, but I will say that it's a wonderful place to live if the major cities are not the right fit for you—or even if you're just looking to stack some cash for a few years.

"Culture fit" has been used so many times against minority hiring that it comes across as a red flag to me.

Jeff Benjamin left bfg under a cloud. Folks left that agency because of him but hey..

AD1, you mean it’s in Knoxville.

If I said “yes”, does that change whether or not you’d apply?

Great. So you’ll find out whether or not it’s hard for YOU to get into.

Even to work at a good agency?

Have no first hand experience. I know a lot of people who do. More so, he’s just a guy at a place. Doesn’t mean it’s a good agency all of a sudden. The Moonpie stuff is fun, but what else do they do. Also, who was running that?

Down to chat?

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
