Shout out to a couple “older” creatives I’ve teamed up with - I’ve enjoyed freelancing with you. I’m 40 & luckily don’t look it but you’ve given me hope with your smarts, youthful vibe, and work.

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?
