“A bit of a shit show” is an understatement. Like 2/3 of the dept is gone, and they haven’t hired any.

@Strategy Director 1 - It has to do their leadership. I’ve heard some terrible stories but won’t share them here.

Yes overwhelmingly Microsoft (b2b and b2c) but there's other small projects. Culture was amazing a couple years ago and the foundation is still there but it's going through a rough patch. Strategy department is a bit of a shit show right now

I do think it's still one of the best options for ad agency in seattle if you're adamant on Seattle and not working in-house. There just aren't many options in town and Possible is bigger so you have some ability to move around to the right team.

Thanks for the insight Possible1! Just had a recruiter reach out about an opening on the Strategy team and didn’t have much context on the agency/culture/work

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!
