Is it time to panic about advertising yet?

Yes, but it’s not just advertising.

The entire business world is a mess. Amazon has a goal to eliminate 500,000 jobs and the only reason the stock market is up is because companies are cutting everything and everyone they can. Eventually they’re going to run out of things to cut.

The good news is AI can’t replace us like they think it can. The bad news is they’re trying anyway and there are some painful years to come before we’ll have a chance at making things better.

Advertising will never go away. But, it’s going to be very interesting to see what it manifests into

Yeah it's pretty annoying and it's going to be everywhere. I'm not sure what is going to happen to be honest. I've left Adland for live experiences and feel like I'm never going to go back,

Look, the whole world is on fire.
It’s not your agency, it’s not our industry, it’s everything.

If we think inequity is bad now, we’re entering a whole new phase of tech-fueled super oligarchy.

Technology means fewer good jobs.
Fewer good jobs means fewer consumers.
Fewer consumers means less consumer demand.
Less consumer demand means even fewer good jobs.

Death spiral except for the owners of the tech.

Looking to transfer into a client associate role (unregistered at the moment, but willing to obtain).

Does anyone happen to have a referral or can anyone give DM me some insight into what a CSA role would look like? I appreciate it.
