My poor designer has been busting his ass and working overtime to finish a project. He’s about to burn out and lose his mind. What can i do to help/keep him sane?

Tell him what a good job he’s doing, it means a lot. Also if you can, let the agency leaders know and put in a good word for him

We have a weekly internal award and everyone knows how hard he’s been working. I’ve been campaigning for people to vote for him.

Let his boss know how amazing he is, and to pay special attention to him/make him feel cared for and valued. The next thing you know he’ll give his notice in 3 months because no one in leadership bothered to ask him how he is actually doing.

Thank you for caring and making a difference.

They’re probably already out. Designers are gluttons for punishment, but advertising is a mistress that does not tire.

And copywriters are not gluttons for punishment? This feels like a really broad generalization of designers

Buy him lunch. Tell him to go home and sleep. And have a fresh start tomorrow. Take him for a walk. Get him water. And more water. Play soothing music. And tell him how much you appreciate him. If that doesn’t work- talk to your creative director and tell them you need support.

Any comment on that?
