Looks like your boss found your post 😂
Well, at least you have those lucrative judging appointments and personal projects to fall back on. 👊🏼
LPD1 The take away here is that it’s somehow bad/lesser to found a boutique agency? Good to know. Good to know.
Spoken like a true visionary who wins awards for *personal projects* that create no business value while your boss is hustling to drive actual client business, regardless of outcome. Clearly you suffer from BDE with LDR. Look in the mirror to see the real problem.
Yo, who hurt you?
I have to beg my CDs to judge award shows, or even attend. And personal side projects make every creative more interesting. Don’t let one bad boss dim your light, sis!
Thank you! And yes, we are supposed to do stuff like this. My client was always liking the posts on LinkedIn. And was extremely supportive. It brought us more work, as they could see what else we were capable of doing.
My boss felt threatened by it. And very clearly conveyed that.
They have imploded the entire agency since then. Lost all of their new business wins, which was just work at a financial loss. And they lost most of our legacy clients.
I do not understand how they still have a job.
OP—keep it simple and open your own agency…or bring the clients into mine and just move forward. Vote with your feet…
Yep, that’s how I thrived
