Starting something akin to, god I'm dating myself, the Lucy character in Peanuts who had the 5 cents advice booth or whatever it was called. Let me throw some advice, words, reassurance, encouragement and just plain old listen to whatever you have to say, your way (keep the sarcasm to a minimum pleeze, altho I know it will come regardless) Ask me anything and I will offer my years of freelance and staff wisdom onto you. 3, 2, 1...Go!

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?

Hey guys, question regarding new years resolutions. Anyone know some good books about how to lead better and step up to become a great CD?

I’m so depressed, have been for years, and don’t see it getting better. I’ve tried everything from therapy, exercise, psychiatry, journaling, self help books, healthy diet, etc. what else is there?

Just had an interview with Netflix and at some point I mentioned “GAFA” (even joking that it’s probably GAMA now) and completely forgot they’re in FAANG 😬

Will this be one of those moments I remember when going to bed for the rest of my life? Yes.

So fed up with my practice and not looking to stick around for typical below-market compensation in October.

Anyone else do WWWY?

What do when you’ve already accepted a job offer but then received a better offer? Does it look bad on you to decline the first offer?

Little Italy, SD - I’m looking for a room or sublet ASAP for ~1month to start. Please let me know if you have any leads or suggestions on how to find a place. Thank you!!

Do you feel like less priveleged folks at your company get more opportunities?

Hello all. How does everyone who doesn't live directly along a T line commute to work? Do you drive and park at a station and then take the train? Do you bus into work? Do you drive directly into town? I'm relocating to Boston and I'm curious how much I should prioritize living by a train station. Thanks!

Any word on Draftline? ABI’s internal agency?

Will someone from W+K hire me for a day, so I can get a job somewhere else? I’m 100% serious.

How hands-on are you in scrum meetings?

Have anyone started getting promotion or hike letters in EY GDS

Heya! I’m an international student trying to find a job in business strategy or advertising. Yet, many companies do not want to hire me because of the OPT.

Thoughts on Micromass?

Can anyone tell me about which pharma/health companies OR agencies have great WFH/remote/flex policies? I feel like Glassdoor and Indeed don't highlight that enough when it's one of the things I care about the most.

Anyone else get annoyed with the constant grumbling about healthcare/pharma work in the main bowl?

Has anybody moved into Pharmaceutical Marketing from Consumer Marketing? Thinking about it as a potential career decision. Understand the biggest challenge in my market is the inability to market to consumers.

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

Thoughts on Pfizer’s canvas for developing emails and iDetails?

Considering leaving my agency after just a couple months in pharma - feeling underutilized and stuck.

My question: do I leave this stint off my resume entirely? List the parent agency instead of the wellness arm? Pass it off as freelance? Not trying to be dishonest I just know this experience probably isn’t relevant when going out for non-pharma jobs.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Layoffs at CDM ... again

Thoughts on TBWA\WorldHealth?

A recruiter there reached out to me about a Copy Sup job. What should I be looking out for?

So what’s the best agency right now, in terms of culture, work/life balance (lol), and work?
