People always ask about what other industries we could work in with our skillsets. I have visited some really neat museums recently. Smithsonian, Kennedy Space Center, Museum of Ice Cream (traveling Instagram experience) etc… does anybody know@m what kind of companies to apply to, to be a creative putting together exhibits and experiences at museums like these?

It’s harder to break into than advertising, for sure. You’ll need to start with a graduate degree in museum studies and start over as an intern again. It will help if your undergraduate degree is in the museum’s special interest (art history, architecture, etc.). It will also never pay as much as an ACD role at the highest position you could earn, so keep that in mind. Also know a ton of rich kids with connections will be competing.

Yep, much like academia and publishing, it’s so sought after that they can pay peanuts and rest easy knowing there will always be enough independently wealthy people to fill roles. Tale as old as time.

There are small agencies that do this, but most of them are either not great or little known, so you should probably start one and take a crack at it.

Maybe start with applying to experiential agencies first? (Think MAS, 360i - now Dentsu, Momentum McCann etc) might be a good bridge to take.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

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 .
