POV: you're an AD* looking for a copy (me) to build our portfolio together and work in... London?

DM:
1) if your seniority is mid/senior or you won an award (Lions, D&AD, One Show..)
2) 3 fav Cannes Lions 2022 campaigns*
3) 3 creatives you love
We create 3 campaigns before XMas and maybe in 2023 we'll start dream big!
Let's make 3 our magic number

* I ask just because if your work is focused on editorial design, that is a different field. I wish you like strategic thinking. Thank you, bye!

Sorry to disappoint you, I'm looking for a partner

Hey, CW1! Thanks for posting in the bowl. I can tell how hungry you are to succeed in this agency world and that is commendable.

This bowl is meant to be a positive space for up-and-comers like yourself. So, a suggestion, if I may. Give it a beat.

Try posting a different post in a day or two. Outline clearly what you’re looking for. A partner to apply for jobs in London with.

Consider sharing that award-winning piece you mentioned. You don’t have to share your whole portfolio. But, a link to the case study or film, might help you get some more bites.

Then, once you connect with someone, you can talk to them directly about the want to do a spec campaign or two together.

Something to call out, you don’t need to have shared work with someone to get a job together. You both just need to have strong books individually. You can build work together on the job.

Hope this helps!

Kinda sounds like you’re looking for a Cannes winning art director to make three campaigns with you in five weeks.
But your post asking for help has multiple typos and doesn’t give any insight into your own work.
You may be amazing, who knows, but I don’t see this getting any bites.

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

So here's the deal: I've been in the industry for 8 years now—and I still feel my best work is my spec work. Is there a point at which it's simply no longer appropriate to show spec work in a book?

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”
