Saw an anon post on digital_chadvertising about the Publicis Christmas party at the Fairmont. What happened? Why did they say it looked insane? I’m a former former employee who is curious 👀

Any Columbus folks?

I have sent my letter to negotiate salary. Praying for good news!

Anyone interested in starting a good/wine club in NYC? We bring different wines and make a tasting event out of it. Could be in our homes or at a restaurant!

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

Thanks for coming out Dallas 🐠! Some confessions were revealed but I’ll never tell XOXO it was an intimate crowd tonight of 2 men and 2 gals and was just perfect for the atmosphere! definitely want to see more people next time. Adios and thanks again for coming! There will be another one at some point so pls be on the lookout.
Goodnight!

Did a bunch of agencies just go on a firing spree before Christmas?

Been in the strat game for over a decade; I’ve realized that a strong department with clear process that is built on end to end problem solving (with time to think) is when I’m happiest vs this award show / case study grind. What are some agencies you all work or have worked at, that value strategy as a department and not a creative case study farm? Looking to figure out what’s next.

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included). It felt like a little while ago agencies were begging to hire new talent, and most couldn’t find new people. Is it really that hard to get a job at an agency? Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.
