Favourite Super Bowl spot?
Toronto ad fish 🤠 I’ve spent most of my career working as a copywriter in London (6 years here, 2 years Toronto) and the market is pretty different here. I’m planning on moving back home but wondered….how do you find work in Toronto? Agencies barely post openings, is the recruiter scene strong? Is it mostly who you know?

Are you a sadist or something?

I just want to commiserate 😂
The main ‘Advertising’ bowl had a great thread on this 🤷

I was once hit by a car on the way to a casting session, does that count as crashing out? Asking for an older friend.

Haha good question! I would classify this as a car crash but not a crashing out.
It wasn’t a public crash out but during Covid I worked so much and I was so overwhelmed and stressed out that I had a panic attack (?) on a random Wednesday afternoon and floated above my body for approx 10 seconds straight and saw myself sitting at my computer working away in photoshop as if I was a ghost on the ceiling and I thought I died.

This is the kind of answers I was looking for! I have been there and it’s good to know I’m not alone. Thank you. I hope you’re in a better place!
Never had a crash out. I quit before it got that bad. We all need to learn when to set boundaries or walk away.
Oh it was not financially feasible but I had to protect myself.
I have never heard a working professional use the term “crash out” only my ten year old.

You’ll all be using this term in a month 😂
I just quit when I crashed out. Wasn’t my smartest move, but it eventually worked out.

Thank you for sharing. My partner did this too.
You first
I’ve written many briefs that were canceled for budget reasons before I could brief them which is frustrating
Are you ok
