I used to work with Mike, the new president, and I can genuinely say he’s one of the coolest, nicest people I’ve met in advertising. Also, as a non-creative, he really cares about making great work. Which is a huge plus

There is one person in leadership that is awesome, and that’s Mike and probably Keith... so two. Everyone else is toxic. Time to clean house even further.

I’ve been thinking recently that I want to go to Asia. I spent some time in Hong Kong and really enjoyed it there.

Any advice from Ex pats would be lovely.

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?
