Pretty crazy:


The CEO of Brooklyn-based creative shop Madwell, Christopher Sojka, is lashing out against distressed employees—according to internal communications obtained by ADWEEK—for pushing back against the agency’s in-office policies after not being paid on time, and for speaking to the press about the company’s financial woes.
The indie shop, which has serviced major brands including Verizon and e.l.f. Cosmetics, is reportedly grappling with severe financial distress.

In need of some advice- I’m a second year and currently work as legal counsel for a private home builder/developer.

In your agency, who owns brand strategy implementation and brand experience across channels (storytelling (communication goals & brand narrative), brand content recommendations, tactic ideation and approach, user experience, etc.)?

So why do company merges result in mass layoffs?

Why is there a Black Keys song playing in a Wells Fargo ad?

Year in search was a little off the mark, no?

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

Just something I noticed in my experience. I could be way wrong.

Are there any other survey companies you’ve gotten quick cash from like NewtonX?

What about Italy? Anyone working there?

Should I explore job offers while most business are still remote? Or should I stay where I am until going back into the office is an option and than explore job offers?

I just think it would be hard to start a new job remotely. THOUGHTS?!

Hey strategists, what’s something you would love an intern to provide you with or something they have done that made your life a little easier? (Cont.)

Let’s all agree on some collective self care this week - NO early morning meetings or client deliverables the day after the election. Perhaps we extend these rules this whole week. K? Great. 😅

What should you do if they don’t put your name on the credits of work that is yours? Anybody’s had this experience?
