Ok…I still don’t know what I’m doing so started a convo by accident lol. Anyway, I’m new here and just wanted to say hello. There’s power in connections and I’m here wanting to connect. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends 😊

“You have a good looking face. But your body is absolute junk."

If you’re in a relationship (even a happy one), is flirting fine or walking a line? I think consistently flirting with the same person can be shaky, but what about strangers if you’re out?

Hello Team can I get likes to initiate my DM

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting but I thought I’d try to ask, I received a request from a recruiter to interview for a new insurance company I’ve never heard of: Branch. Looked it up and it seems to be a new “Techsurance” company working with both home and auto policies. Does anyone have any information they could share about this company? Thank you!

How do I set the formula to calculate “If x falls between 1-10, return 1-10, if it falls between 11-20, return 11-20, and so on”

So, I haven't received an offer yet but they have already run a background check and sent me both a conditional U5 approval and a FINRA info request. Can I assume that an offer will be soon to follow?

What are some ways that you’ve created urgency or rebuilt momentum in a deal cycle where it was otherwise lost? (E.g. customer ghosting you)

Hi there, I am looking for companies/referrals hiring AE roles right now. I have 4 years full sales cycle experience and have been a top rep at my HR Tech company located in San Diego. Looking for a hybrid role in San Diego or remote position. Anything would be helpful, thanks in advance!

For those of you that have a LGBTQ+ employee resource group at your company how are you all handling pride month? We’re fully remote right now and I’m a co-chair for mine and struggling to think of things to do for the group.

What do you or are you looking for out of your LGBTQIA+ employee resource group?

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional. He has reassured me that this won’t impact our working dynamic but lately there’s been a lot of pushback on any direction given to him or the team. I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?

Looking to join a running club for LGBTQ folk or other agency folk. Is that a thing? NYC by the way.

Anybody know of great head hunters for Art Directors who are looking to branch out from Pharma Advertising??

Hello everyone! What are some things you can think of to help boost LGBT acceptance in the work place?

Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.

Do you feel, as members of our community in advertising (a privilege we share in having a voice in media but also cultural persuasion) that you should lean into brands taking advantage of the opportunity to capitalize on our community or steer them away from that but also refocus their minds to a more long term diverse creative solution?

I am an advertising professor studying how people’s identities shape their experiences in advertising. I am interested in interviewing LGBTQ+ folks to learn whether and how your identity shapes your experiences and perspectives on advertising and the work you create and produce. If you’re willing to chat, email me at kwindels at UFL dot edu.

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

What brands do Pride right? Any favorite campaigns come to mind? Or on the flip side, any campaigns you dislike for being tone-deaf or performative?

It’s that time when pride briefs are rolling across our desks. We should collectively write a guide on pride campaigns, what to do and what not to do. Anyone want to share their advice?

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

I see recruiters encouraging Women, POC, and LGBTQIA to apply. How does one show they identify as the third?
