The Super Bowl is set and coming in hot. Do you think the ads will be any good this year? I won’t be watching but I’m always interested in the perception of the ads which seem to be a big draw for many. I don’t think we’ll see many that are memorable or edgy in a positive way.

What are your thoughts?

I feel like SuperBowl commercials were way better before they relied on celebrities for sales. The ads actually had plots, creativity, scripts. Now it's basically just celebrities getting an easy check with the weakest of storylines because these brands are only relying on the presence of the celebrity to sell their product. I'm not expecting much either this year.

That’s an interesting perspective. They certainly aren’t as funny as they used to be, so I can see your point when it comes to the overall plot lacking.

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 reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
