Posting your or your team’s One Club short listing in the time of COVID layoffs. Inspiring or insensitive?

Send a note to the team that worked on the project. Recognition is good. Positivity is good. Public bragging is a bit tone deaf.

Good lord. The US needs to get their head out of their asses and stop worrying about offending other people. Your feelings are your responsibility. If you get offended by someone else celebrating an achievement, you're the one who needs to get their life together.

Send notes to the teams and the people that did the work. No need to post to the world

I’ve been let go and I say post, especially if someone on the team either got let go at the agency they got the shortlist with (yea that’s shitty) or moved to a different agency and you know they got let go there.

Little bit of PR and exposure from different sources can’t hurt those that need it.

It’s called marketing. In a time when you could lose your job at any moment, pretty good thing for a marketer to do.

It’s not about offending people. It’s about the fact that a shortlist is a worthless commodity that are a dime a dozen. It’s like bragging that you got a stimulus check. Congratulations.

LB2, that’s fair. My question was a general query and not applicable to me as I’ve already congratulated those who deserved it personally. For some, it’s something.

A shortlist is nothing to brag about. When they announce the awards then do it. It’s only 3 weeks away.

like

a shortlist is something when it’s your first shortlist, and a shortlist is also more than most people have

A lot of pretentious, self righteous people on this thread. If you think you are so much better than a shortlist than congrats you sound like an ass. If you're somehow upset that people who've spent months, and in some cases years working their ass off and are happy to finally be recognized are being insensitive to you by posting about it than you sound like you've got some serious personal issues to deal with. Promoting yourself in a time when you could be looking for a new job at any moment shouldn't be something anyone in here finds insensitive. C'mon now.

It's amazing how insecurity doesn't see it's own entitlement.

You’ve got to take the opportunities while you can in this this industry. It’s hard to make work let alone get short listed. And If a shortlist is a window to expose your work to your peers then why not post it. Sure, most of those shortlists won’t convert, so celebrating 10 shortlists now sounds is better than posting about 1 bronze in 3 weeks time.

Post it internally, not externally. But not if you’ve had layoffs.

It’s a shortlist for Pete’s sake. Not worth posting.

I agree that people can be a bit over sensitive and that we should celebrate each other and stay positive in times like these. Why don’t we build a community/ public forum where we can celebrate and share each others work right now in lieu of Cannes and award shows. We can add an engagement/ public polling feature. I didn’t see the One club messaging but it can go both ways- tone is everything.

I think people could use the acknowledgement and encouragement. But on the other hand award shows risk being seen as irrelevant or worse self serving.

🙄 You just posted it. Congrats btw.

I mean naturally of course you want to be able to express your achievements to your network. But I’ve noticed every single one of them starts out the post with something like “it’s hard to be excited about something during these times, but blah blah blah”

But I’m sure many people who won these might still be facing losing their jobs, so it probably is worth it to have people notice your achievements in case you need to start looking for a job in a couple weeks, or a couple days

It sounds like every covid response ad from brands. Advertising people can’t help it

Read the room and let that inform your decision

It’s not an accomplishment. Rookie move.

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
