My CCO constantly wants us to come up with award-winning proactive ideas and then does nothing with them and wonders why nobody wants to try to come up with award-winning proactive ideas.

My old partner and I came up with a ton of stuff for a famous alcohol brand. Our CD never presented anything we did. And we lost the account. My partner left for another agency, and has been nonstop winning awards. I shouldn’t have stayed.

Are you in a holding company by chance?
It’s possible your CCO is fishing for ideas to bring to their “creative council” to make them look good in front of their bosses.

Have you asked him/her the end game for this little folly?

Agree. Just make it happen yourself instead of expecting your CCO to solve it all. Look for a client. Talk to an account and a strategist to to help you build a deck. If you really believe in an idea, just hustle to make it happen. That’s what I did at the start of my career and it helped me a lot.

Also: At least your CCO is pushing for cool ideas.
