The Culver Hotel is right next to Sony, but I feel like most LA productions people stay at the beach!

I’d be cautious of the Huntley, Lowes and Le Meridien in Santa Monica. Those are lovely places but clients can have varying issues with them (in my experience). But they tend to be more affordable than Shutters, Casa Del Mar, etc.

Someone mentioned Oceana and that place is amazing! Only issue I ran into (again, through client lens) is there are some cell service dead spots in the hotel. If you have a client that is always attached to WiFi or Phone, this could be problematic.

Shutters, oceana, viceroy

You just sounded so douchey-when junior level agency people at your agency wonder why there are no bonuses-you can tell them you had to stay at a $600 a night hotel.

Pali House if your budget can swing it

The Culver Hotel is cool, but if you’re close enough to stay at the beach, go Casa and Shutters.

Shutters. No contest.

Shutters as many people have said. Seems like the go to for lots of shoots but really nice still.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

What’s your agency’s hook?

I’m starting a new offering from the ground floor - no existing social clients or work. I’ll be walking into meetings with clients who know me from other agencies, where our hook was “we’re fan-first marketers” or “we are the most premium creative shop in our industry”.

I’m working on my new hook, but would love to hear yours.
