Ugh these one-strap purses are killing my back and shoulders. How bad would it be if I carried a backpack to the client site?

Good grief, consultants are so superficial! Use whatever kind of bag that works for you in order to get your job done...Dedicate your time to delivering results for your clients and less time worrying about what you put your laptop in and chances are you will be just fine 🙄

I think backpacks are the best. Carrying two laptops in a shoulder bag is the worst! Get a professional looking one and own it.

I have two laptops so using a backpack helps. Mine is a nylon Tumi that still looks lady-like and is convertible. I can easily hide the straps and use the leather handles and carry it like a purse for days that I feel I need to look more professional going into a meeting.

What’s the best structure for a Creative Brief? I’m trying to train my account team + our main client into sticking to a one pager (right now it’s all over the place)

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them. The briefs I read are constantly off strategy and there’s honestly seems to be a lack of common sense (e.g., don’t kick off a tactic the client doesn’t know about).

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.
