Top ECDs or CCOs you most want to work for, or better, have worked for? Trying to figure out my next agency. I have my moonshot list of agency names, but I'm curious about who, as a creative, I'd grow the most under.

Unless you’re a really senior person, or you’re working on pitches, you’re rarely going to see or deal with the CCO.

@cw1 if it makes you feel better a lot of big network agencies don't even let the senior creatives go to their own shoots. Only a GCD or CD plus account plus way too many clients. 🙃 Hope you get to go to one soon!

I did this same thing a few years back. It’s a smart way to go about it because an agency can be huge and completely vary team to team. Find the people you want to work for/with and the rest will sort itself out.

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year).

The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?
