The top leadership at my agency is so uninspiring, almost no direction or learning. Particularly on the creative side. I feel like I’m at a disadvantage as a junior trying to grow or at least learn.

Are there any agencies or creative people out there I should try to get into or at least reach out to or follow? Who’s actually leading these days?

Your CCO's job isn't to inspire/directly train junior creatives. You should be looking to CDs and lower level leadership. It's pointless to worry about what top leadership represents other than the business they're bringing into the building.

this is exactly what Jason Bagley tries to solve within the industry. You should definitely take his creative megamachine course and then somehow nudge to your CDs to take his CD course which I know will be so beneficial.

I’m guessing you also work at Dentsu.

It’s sad. The industry has changed so much in 20 years, from when I first started. At dentsu it felt like every person for themselves. No culture, a comical amount of US CEO turnover, and an incompetent c-suite that made our work schedules, consequently our lives, such a mess.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
