“The video team behind Zohran Mamdani’s campaign came from corporate advertising, working at places like Digitas, Showtime, and HBO.

The agency is Melted Solids, founded by Anthony DiMieri and Debbie Saslaw. Here’s what they told me when I asked how more marketers could transfer their skills to the world of politics:

“We feel that it’s the responsibility of those in positions of privilege and relative to advocate on behalf of those who may not have the time, network, education, or other resources that we do.

The same skills you have that help sell toothpaste, fast food, or kitchen appliances can easily be applied to a political life, and may be the difference of someone being able to afford healthcare or rent. A lot of corporate life means being assigned to work on projects that are often beyond one’s control or choice. But all of us can use our time and our talents to fight for something like a $30 minimum wage and potentially change the lives of millions of people in the process.” - from Rachel Karten on LinkedIn

It’s actually easier to do political advertising because they’re not legally required to tell the truth.

Hi! I had an interview from a company as a graphic designer. They have moved my application forward and gave me a designer task. I have been following up and they always said that they are still reviewing all the other task from the candidates. They said they will give an updates twice after following up every week. I had the interview and task 3 weeks ago. Do you guys think that I still have a chance?

Thank you ❤️

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
