Leo Burnett, GUT, Mcgarrybowen, Vayner, etc. when the CPG dust settles, who will survive, and what will be left of them?

Hello Guys,

what happen if I accepted the Thoughtworks offer and activated the Octa Account after that I will not join the company.
It causes any issue??

I’m at the point where my options gains are on track to cover my frugal lifestyle for the year! Scaling back because I don’t want to be caught assigned in this ATH market.

Any recommendations on production companies that make short and long form documentaries, preferably with a fashion and culture bent? Branded or unbranded.

Anyone know of a toastmasters or something along those lines in Philly?

Billboard copy word limit? 7 words is my go to but I’d love the industry pulse on what CW’s think is acceptable in terms of how many words should go on a billboard.

Is it considered bad etiquette or inflammatory to ask my company to not have me listed on the company’s website?
My company is asking us to put bios on our their website complete w/photos, “qualifications,” & interests. My job gives me an entry level job title but I do so much more for the company than what my title implies and am poorly compensated. Since I also do freelance work and consulting I don’t want potential clients to see my lower job title & hurt my personal branding. Bad idea 2 ask?

OKRP or Laughlin Constable- which has the better creative opportunities? Not familiar with Chicago market. Any info would be great.

Probably a very niche question.. did any brides struggle with an expectation to dance at their own wedding? My fiancé’s fam is more liberal than mine; apparently it’ll be awkward if I don’t..

I have been feeling so unmotivated, unengaged and just plan tired with everything lately and don’t know why

I'm interested in applying for a Senior Program Manager role at Splunk. Does anyone have insights into that specific role there? Culture, balance, career path? Thanks!

Any places hiring SR AD / ACD?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Hi All, I have received LOI from Wipro 8 days ago.I’m waiting for offer letter.Any one received LOI in March and also offer letter.May I know how much time Wipro takes to release offer letter? I’m not an immediate joiner. Thanks in advance.

Any participants in the HoH Fellowship as they transitioned? I am an active duty CWO2/USMC (10 years) with 12 months of service left.

Best things to do as a young creative at a major agency to get noticed/get bigger opportunities?

Before CR
Me: This moodboard is to decide a direction for the overall look & feel
Client: OK

After CR
Me: Any questions?
Client: Can’t you use more sophisticated font like Helvetica in there?
Me: 😕

I feel upset that so many of our well-meaning clients can’t talk like real people do about subjects of basic empathy. I can’t believe that when a brand says something like “racism is bad” it’s considered an outlier. Hell, I even know racists who constantly tell me racism is bad.

Would you name a brand with the word “Mo” in it? Recently came across a brand based in Georgia named WinMo. They help businesses “win more” clients. Thoughts?

Has anyone ever wrote a specific item into a script and/or props list with hopes of being able to take it home after your shoot?

Hey y’all. How’s VSA Partners for Creatives?

What’s your dream agency or in-house company to work at?

Best headhunters for FL/FT that are smart/fair and have good leads? I like Cory Shaw at Marcus St. Jean but want to know more.

Whats the greatest holiday song of all time?
Heart-warming holiday ad needs a soundtrack.

A random question for anyone that went through Miami Ad School. So we list those “agency labs” as internships on our resumes and experience but don’t put them under background check since they were never paid. I’ve never had a problem with them but wondering if anyone else has?

If you weren’t a creative what job would pursue? I got laid off in April and have only had 1 interview :/

I havent really worked on proactive ideas for clients yet, but I have some downtime here and there and would like to. Would love any pointers or tips anyone would be willing to offer that might help me get started.

What is the average time period to go from a junior to mid level? (Is it different for writers vs. ADs?)

I put in my two weeks! But now it's weird here haha. Agencies should ask you to leave and pay you out. This is silly.

My squarespace subscription just finished. Are there any other decent website creators sites worth looking at for a portfolio? Thanks
