The inevitable crush of capitalism to create faster/cheaper with less resources.

what GCD said combined with the fragmentation of the space - you see less and less agency of record covering everything and more project-based work and different agencies working on different pieces.

why did the spot suck ? because one agency concepted it, one wrote it, a guy who works in a garage somewhere edited it for youtube, and your in-house team botched the tagging.

Also, meetings. Particularly using meetings and group think in place of individuals making decisions and taking responsibility.

My client-side teams were told to increase their capacity by almost 50% for next quarter, but no one is getting more staff. So yes, more work with no additional resources is certainly my biggest pain right now.

I’ve been thinking recently that I want to go to Asia. I spent some time in Hong Kong and really enjoyed it there. But I’ve been wondering, should I work over there for a company/agency, or just save for a one month vacation? I don’t want to come back and be forgotten in the work world. Any advice from Ex pats would be lovely.
