Mine is as well. I'm afraid of retaliation if I send out stuff myself but there's so many layers and we have a terrible pr partner so we always end up with nothing.

Coming from and agency w awful PR to one that does excellent PR, I’d say: generate momentum. If you can create a keystone storyline (eg. We do great experiential) then Ad pubs will buy in every time you further that story. Of course, you’re backing it up with quality work (🤞🏻), but thinking of your agency’s overall story helps when contextualizing your work to a publication. What kind of work does your agency stand for? Does this work back up that claim?

I recommend reading ‘my life in advertising’ a short read but talks about a lot of timeless tactics that still work to this day....spectacle marketing is a real thing....also you can target journalists on Facebook with your campaign material.

I would go ahead and send yourself if your agency isn’t cutting it. Just be sure to write a press release and have a really succinct POV on what the story is all about.

I’m looking for apartments in LA. I was looking at Vinz at Fairfax. Two people are thanking the apartment complex for allowing their autistic friend to live there. Do autistic people have a hard time renting? Sad if so & would appreciate the apartment even more if they’re accommodating to people on the spectrum. One review mentioned it’s a “homeless shelter to autistic” so I didn’t know if it was code for something.

Also, any reviews on Vinz fishies can share? I dknt always Google reviews.

Thoughts on asking for a new manager?

So my current CD kinda doesn't give any direction. They look at what I've done and change like one word. Maybe I'm an acd and I don't need much oversight? They also ask me to help lighten their load but never know what needs to be done and tell me to ask the account or design team. I just don't think they are super interested in working any more. 1 junior and a mid level already asked to leave this team. I don't wanna cause trouble or get them (or me) fired

Need some advice. I really like my team, agency and work life balance, but haven’t had anything portfolio worthy. The work is boring and doesn’t excite me.

I am actively interviewing and feel guilty for doing so. I know I can land a better opportunity and potentially be paid more.
