Those of you that were on Agency and switched over are you producing projects at the same level? Is there operational support? Can you push back on the bad ideas? Are there leaders who ‘get it’?

Not the same quality, no. But it’s different. It’s stuff that still needs to be made. And I can make it way more efficiently without the bullshit back and forth. I also have way more creative control and can push back on bad ideas by pitching better ones. But at the end of the day, it’s still a desk drop. And I would be delusional thinking I can go from desk drop to campaign work. One a year I’ll do projects on the same level and I’m ok with that. Get paid way more and I can spend more time at home.

Just started and it feels like the Wild West. Last night I stayed up late to proofread a strategy brief before it went to the “Marketing Partners” formerly known as my clients. Today I sat in on a call with the media company trying to figure out the deliverables. I do love that I’m learning knew things in an industry I’ve been in for over 20 years. It feels like a better place to be than an agency right now.

The biggest change I appreciate is even if you’re stuck with a bad idea to start, there are endless chances to iterate and improve. It’s a lot slower in that regard, but if you’re patient and put in a couple years, you can help steer the ship. And as things work out, you gain a huge amount of freedom to go with your comfy schedule.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
