Thinking about getting a part time masters in marketing ( digital marketing ) because i really like the idea of becoming more creative and understanding the business side of it. Currently in management consulting. Is it worth it? I have enough free time in my hands where i am able to really up my skills and marketing is one of those things i wanna learn more structured about. Thoughts?

Do you want to learn more about marketing, or do you want to be a marketer? I feel like those have two very different approaches.

I want to learn more about marketing so i can apply my knowledge of the things that I have learned in management consulting and maybe become a marketer. I feel i could gain perspective through learning and apply it where i’m at to transition?

“Can we make the drizzle a little more luscious?”

My issue is less with the fact that the word “luscious” is pretty binary. The drizzle is either luscious or it isn’t. My issue is the “a little more” part. So, it’s luscious right now. We want it MORE luscious—but definitely not a lot more, just a little. Otherwise it would be TOO luscious. Can’t have that.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?

Update on my boss-adjacent, hot F Director who made the “tied down” comment/hint/signal/joke - she scheduled a “work dinner” at 6:30pm today for me and her to chat about the strat deck I’ve built as a follow up from yesterday’s meeting. Anyone think she saw me blush lightly at her comment yesterday and she’s making a move, or is this strictly work related?
