Thoughts on Apple rebranding its advertising to Apple Ads? Is it a clever play on words or super cringy?

After 15 years in the industry, I can really say that these last few years have been the most challenging in terms of navigating all the sensitivity and political correctness.

I really just needed to get this out there… I ended last week by realizing how alone I feel, and so far since then I found out my mom has skin cancer, my uncle had a heart attack, and my grandfathers cancer is back in his spine… I’m so exhausted mentally and emotionally. Thanks for listening 💙

I applied for a job at Embark about a week ago - should I be worried that I haven't heard back? How long does it usually take to hear back from a company after applying online? It's been a while since my last job search and I don't want to get too worked up after only a week if I don't need to.

Has anyone ever worked with Kate Spade’s husband? I hear he works in Advertising. Sad day for fashion today

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

Anyone work for CSAA or any other AAA company? What do you do and how do you like it?

Anyone else feel like avoiding all these spots before the super bowl is an extreme sport? Maybe it’s just me, but I want to see them at game time... reading ahead takes all the fun out of it for me.

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

Creatives who left for tech. What is it exactly that you do now? Is it still writing or art directing? Or a different creative role? Hearing about people leaving for tech so I want to know what it means exactly aside from the benefits.

Why do companies do this? I interviewed with a company. They loved my work and told me that I’m going to start the following week. They made me sign all of the onboarding papers and poof ghosted me! 🤦‍♀️ I feel so down right now! And I feel like I won’t be able to ever land a job!

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Have layoffs been finished for the year or are more coming?

I really need to know. Does anyone genuinely care about their jobs anymore? Money aside.

Finally got major client signed. Got high-fives from CEO who’s already marketing said major client. Can’t get finance to approve freelance needed to actually do the work.

It’s Friday who’s partying

I’m looking for some new things to read or listen to — doesn’t need to be ad-related. Books, podcasts, whaddya got?
I’m not really into fiction, but open to anything. Last books I enjoyed were Junior and Moonwalking with Einstein, last podcast I binged was Startup (Gimlet).

When negotiating salary, what’s the highest you’ve ever asked for and actually gotten it? Did asking for a crazy amount ever backfire on you?

Media arts lab. What does everyone think about it? Culture/work life etc?

What is the Netflix employees email format?

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?

Food/bar recos in CHS?

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

Anyone here knows agency/in-house that do O1 Visa? for JAD with one year experience.. My next jump would make me an AD possibly.

Is it weird when a 3rd party recruiter you’ve never met constantly calls you out of the blue? No set up...no “hey are you free at noon?” Just random phone calls while I’m at work.

Just had someone in NYC I want to work for ask me my salary. It's illegal now but I didn't know how to tell them. I told them my range. What would you have said?
