A lot of people get an MBA for the network, not the education. If you want the educational part I’d recommend Mark Ritson’s Mini MBA or something cheaper and self guided like that.
I don’t think anyone’s going to view your resume much differently with an MBA unless it’s from one of the top 6 programs in the country

Who does the CD / ECD at your in house team report to?

A former client director colleague has gone in-house as CMO. They are now asking me (currently ECD) to join and set up an agency-like creative team to up-level everything from brand to sales materials. It's a good mgmt opp and good creative is a definite possibility, but I'm conflicted. Aency BS would be nice to step away from, but I think I'm still bought into the notion that agencies are superior and in-house is where washed-up creatives go to die. Any regrets from those that made the jump?

Are in-house gigs the future? I see more companies pulling creative in and doing good work.
