Is there anyone working in Marketing/Product Management for a health tech firm in Atlanta? I would love to chat.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

My neighbor is a bit creepy/lonely (?). He comes over to chat when I’m outside working on the house or doing yard work and doesn’t catch on too well to social cues. He’ll mention small details about my routine or new changes to the house (just moved in). It’s a bit uncomfortable and I’ve had a few awkward moments with him already. Anyone else have any odd or awk neighbor experiences? How do you dealllll when you just don’t want to interact?

Anyone make a move from advertising to firms like ideo and frog? Would love to chat!

I’m a copywriter hoping to find a designer/art director potential partner that is passionate about social change. I want to create something meaningful... anyone picking up what I’m putting down?

I’m essentially partners with a creative director. If we wanted to run off together to another agency, would we be able to go as partners? Or does my title & small experience sample hamstring us both?

Any Deutsch LA CDs out there who wouldn't mind perusing my portfolio? I hear you have some cw openings and I'd absolutely love to work with you and for Karen Costello. DM if so and thank you!

Need a little perspective: Did you get faster at brainstorming ideas as you went along in your career? I’m one of the only juniors at a mostly senior agency and having trouble keeping up.

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

Random Q unrelated to advertising but is anyone investing through Fidelity? And what mutual funds/stocks are you investing in that show potential?

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

Is the paid LinkedIn worth it?

I love Instagram, I really do! But sometimes I feel that as a creative the thought of "sticking" to an aesthetic makes me cringe! I feel that art & inspo should be free flowing - not confined to a box

The people hired at your agency who previously won Lions, are they generally better creatives?

Hey! Anybody have experience working on the Brand Innovation Lab at Amazon? Would love to hear your thoughts positive or negative

I can't seem to get out of the trap of being a presentation designer. I hate the work, but can't seem to jump to anything else, my book has range. I want to go more into branding how do I do that?

Where is the best place to look at inspo for directors / style for TVC/OLV?

Be honest. Why do you keep coming back to this app?

Pre and post production routines/tips/etc? Ive always worked with my CD on productions, but going into my first solo. Any tips? Thank you!

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.
