Media agency 🐠, would you rather work at a creative agency?

Yes because you're actually involved in creating the ads. Just can't get any call backs.

Yes, because it’s at least somewhat creative and art related. No, because of fishbowl and the many horror stories on here

Nope. I have done both. In a creative agency you will always be a junior stakeholder as a media person . In a media agency you are more influential and often higher paid over the arc of your career because there are more opportunities

Maybe I misinterpreted but being in digital media is great because there's analytics to back up our decisions. From what I've read in this app the client can say, it just doesn't feel right. With digital media, the client can push back saying they don't agree with the plan but we just show them historical data and they can't really argue that.

No. Just thinking about the model and sustainability of the model gives me the shivers. At least in media there is still power in scale so it’s harder for clients to move an AOR to project based so people don’t have to be fearful for losing jobs over a client sneezing and changing their minds. Also —— ratio between good ads vs. really bad ads is staggering.

Nope. It seems like media is a second thought at many creative shops while its often the lead with my of our clients

I’ve dome both and I prefer media agency over full service/creative agency. At creative lead shops, media is always an afterthought and never got any recognition. Also, everyone else hated us because of the vendor perks. I’m sorry I get free bottles of wine and gift cards from vendors. I also spend all day in excel and Prisma managing media budgets so I take what I can get.

Dear brands. Just copy and paste this:

Scored my first gig in advertising as an intern at BBH NY like 10 years ago. Part of the application asked for an original poem and I happened to be watching 16 and Pregnant on MTV. The preggo teenager was cursing out her partner so I wrote down the lines in all caps and got a call the next day.
