I worked in advertising for 15 years, did well and enjoyed my time even though I encountered sexism, racism, backstabbing and extremely large egos. I found the shaming and fear-mongering about how superior ad agencies are over the new comers silly and a way to hold you back along with all the other items I mentioned. It's the attitudes expressed above that holds the industry back. I can attest at Edelman Digital, I've encountered some of the most talented and insightful creatives. The work is more authentic than stuff I produced at large well-known agencies. It connects, its smart and its brave. There's no one holding us back telling us what is right in an industry designed to only let you go so far (and works you to death) before you age out or discover you aren't apart of the mean or boy's club that makes an agency go round. If you are just seeking approval from other current ad agency people then go to another ad agency. And, enjoy the rinse and repeat. Or learn something new.

I left your classic ad agency for edelman (NY) and it’s a blast! We are doing big creative work, and the people are smart and insightful. The benefits are wonderful and they pay really well. Idk what Strat 1 is talking about, but I’m sorry you had such a negative experience at such a great place.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
