Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

If the healthcare industry is so messed up, why hasn’t there been any successful healthcare startups? Seems like there is so much opportunity for improvement here, but there must be a reason no one is capitalizing on it. What are the barriers?

What was your most amazing day in advertising?

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

If you had a choice, which would you choose?

A) having the annual holiday party
B) splitting the holiday party budget equally between employees as bonus

BONUS Q: do you know your agency's budget?

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?

Why does it seem like there are two types of creatives...

The chill one with the most relaxed approach where they almost come off monotone.

The one who has too much energy and noticeable anxiety.


Just something I noticed in my experience. I could be way wrong.
