Today, my leadership decided to pause all marketing targeting LA residents due to the wildfires. Is that something your team has decided to do? If so, for how long? What are your thoughts about it? I’m wondering if this is the right move as it will have an impact on what we’re attempting to achieve.

Any thoughts?

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others). I don't want to rush and get it wrong. I avoid phone calls for this reason which isn't great when you're in the service industry so it's starting to impact my career.

Anyone expecting layoffs due to COVID-19? There’s an indefinite hiring freeze and most promotions and have been paused. 👀

My status in TCS portal is showing as Evualted and Docs are pending for verification..When can I expect the offer letter?

Had an offer for 30% more , a promotion to manager, extra week of vacation to switch firms. I love where I am at with my clients and there is a lot of potential there. Should I stay the course?

Does anyone have any book recommendations for information on buying a house?

What's your favorite example of a product that you don't understand how they even pitched it to the CEO? My current favorite is this bottle of water that says "lo cal." Hahaha

Opinion on Quinn? (Would prefer an opinion from people who actually work there and aren’t just bitter from opposing them)

Hows the work and work/life balance at full-service agencies vs a media agency. I'm a media planner coming from a full-service agency and I'm wondering if it will be a step backward going to a media focused agency.

Any Strategy& fish willing to give a referral? Currently in PwC for advisory but looking to transition into consulting

Key West advice. Looking for a 3-4 day stay in February. Hoping to add this as an extension to an already planned trip so don’t want to spend to much money. Everything seems so pricey for not great value. Any recs on stays / best activities, let me know!

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

Hey, so I’m going to my first 3% conference. I heard it’s usually white feminism x 100. But I was wondering what I should expect? Has anyone been.

Is it just me or does it seem like teams with high diversity function the best and have the most creative work? Whenever I've worked with ie POC and fellow gay people, the work has always been stellar

First time working with a celebrity for one of our campaigns. Anyone have any tips or advice? A little nervous here 😅

Anybody struggle with imposter syndrome as a minority? How and why? Need some coping strategies man.

Is it about where people are indigenous to?

Not all Black Americans are African American,
right?

Looking for some inspiration for a project. Ads/brands from any era that have made an impact on you - whether that’s being inclusive and diverse, or making you think wtf. Could be from when you’re growing up or ones you’ve seen recently. Thoughts?

I’m working with a manager who likes to prioritize his ideas over strategic research, I want to be helpful because it’s very distressing to watch ideas being presented without the appropriate research, any advice?

Happy Black History Everyone, let's make this a truly historic month!!

Dear Nappily Ever After,
No one has an office, much less an assistant. Creative and account are different jobs with their own dress codes. But dumb, off brief ideas by white creatives do win.

What's the most natural next step for a marketing coordinator?

Is there any industry recognition for poc creatives the way adage and others recognize creatives?

The marketing for Black Adam is genius! I wish I was in entertainment. If you could choose one industry to do marketing for what would it be? For me it's easily film or games.

I guess I’m officially being off boarded team doesn’t care no one has said anything … I’m a ball of nerves thankfully my old company wants me back — feeling so sad and angry and just incredibly nervous

Who is trying to get together for a meet up in NYC? Want to start bring minorities in our industry together.

The more I work in advertising, the more apparent that majority of companies (and my own colleagues) don’t know how to reach consumers like me. It’s absolutely tragic. (Cont’d)
