Judy John’s creative judgement was unmatched. It seemed like she was right 95% of the time and the work always got better because of it.

She’s a figurehead at Edelman. Mostly works on dove and does appearances to try and keep up the facade that Edelman is a creative agency.

Pierre Lipton is sharp. And George Tannenbaum is an eccentric genius.

GABE CHEUNG, hands down. I worked with him at R/GA and he’s now at TBWA/Chiat. Best of the fucking best. He’s led all the best Nike activations from the original Fuelband to AR Jordan, and he’s an incredibly kind and thoughtful leader who puts in as much for the work and his team as he’d ever expect from them. He also makes everyone a better creative, leading by example.

Miss you, dude 🥲

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
