How can you love working in advertising if you hate politics?

Are there agencies that do political work? Or were you on your own?

We were a small shop. Another partner and me.

I’d try and shape it to the strategy and how your work drove the results. Potentially do some mock work to show you can do pretty, but creative that works has its own beauty, and creatives that can think/act strategically is that much more desirable to good agencies.

Did you win any awards? Would definitely play that angle.

I actually was an award judge. I tended not to enter and awards were not a big deal in political advertising.

Hey 🐠, curious your thoughts on two roles. 27m finishing non-MBA grad school while working. First I’d a manager-level BD role for a startup (but public) company im really excited/energized by. 150k base with 15% bonus and equity. Second is a senior manager level growth & partnerships role for a slightly larger company that’s cool but I’m less enthusiastic about. 165k with 20% bonus and equity. Ignoring equity considerations, would you take the job with lower pay if the company is more exciting?

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
