I have several awards. I agree with op. Hope the recent changes on the cannes rules conserning pro bono avoids what cw is talking about.

It’s fine, pro bono is going to be its own category now. Good luck winning that against the 1000 other scam ads that get entered

Pro bono is its own category? So if nhs pays for an anti smoking ad it’s not in there? I’d pay a dollar for a good campaign. Some of these award winning campaigns are pretty sweet. It seems like sometimes they are the only good thing we get to make for the world

No way the “Cannes briefs” that come out every year at big agencies will ever be entered as pro bono work (even though that’s what they are)

Agree with CD1. Agencies will still find a way to hide that shit. A better solution would be to separate out non-profit and cause work (regardless of if they "paid" or not) into its own category. Not saying that none of that work is worthy of recognition, but I'm getting a bit tired of smart problem solving losing out to emotional blackmail and insincere statuary year after year.

It’s just gross how people start emailing any nonprofit they can think of to sell them work they don’t need and won’t work. And that money is better spent on DM and fundraising. Like the Wolf of Madison Avenue

I remember when someone did a ridiculous stunt for a charity that adage said made 600 hundred in donations, probably less than the videocase costed and probably agency money, still god bronze in cannes. Pure bullshit

A partner put me in charge of a specific project that I ran independently. Things were going well. The client began asking me to do more and more, including revamping their system and internal trainings. The client even gave me a litigation matter. Suddenly, the partner became more involved. I was removed from meetings concerning the revamping, my trainings were cancelled, and he started micromanaging. He has now sidelined me from the project and trash talked me to the client. I am very upset.

"Need some help to understand and decide my career track."

I just began my career in
ZS Associates at an associate level after completing masters from the USA. The reason to choose ZS was because of not having a lot of relevant work experience to land any data engineering/ analytics related job in Big Tech firms. Given that the technology is changing very drastically, and from work life balance perspective in the future, would it be wise to shift into tech companies asap before it's too late?

I would like to get more into the finance side of things. Does anyone have any stories about switching to finance? What roles? Is it worth it to get my MBA? Any advice helps! Thanks.
