There’s a pretty widespread belief at my agency that the CCO cannot run a pitch and is losing us new business by constantly pushing us towards unfocused decks with way too much creative and bad taste for picking brand platforms. But nobody will say anything. All agencies talk about being disruptors and innovative but can’t even disrupt their own companies obvious failings.

I have been in your shoes. In my case the CCO was the co-founder, so I knew it was never going to change. I left.

👀 Which city

And agency.

Ok more info. What pitch. How many years have they been in the role. What feedback did any of the companies give?

Are we talking about the same CCO 🫣

It’s hard to try to take down someone at the top and often doesn’t go well.

Relationships win pitches.

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❤️
