On this Labor Day, remember this industry hates labor. And they’ll sell you up the river to streamline their massive profit margins…advertising ain’t special, it’s an assembly line like any other. We are service workers. Don’t let the hubris to believe we’re all “unique talented artists” distract you from the fact that, only a very small percentage make it into management, and the rest are underpaid cogs, disposable at a very early expiration date.

Amen to that. We think too highly of ourselves just because there’s beer in and ping pong table at the office.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
