Mother. Because they’re good.

likefunny

Uncommon’s work looks great but isn’t nearly as clever as they think it is. Lots of confusing or average ideas shot by big directors in lieu of a big idea. But their PR department makes it sound like they’ve reinvented the wheel.

Mother makes fun stuff but can be just downright weird. But more likely to make things beyond just TV and OOH.

In truth no one anywhere is making work with brilliant ideas anymore, but these two are your best bet to make stuff that at least looks good.

Uncommon. Because they actually do things. Mother isn’t the same as 5 years ago.

I don’t work at either. My perception is Uncommon doesn’t have strong and lasting clients, and is quiet one-hit-wonder vibes with each client. Mother will be more considered about client retention I think. Also heard uncommon is a sweatshop. I have no idea if Mother is too.

Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is well.

I am looking for a part time role for additional income source. I currently work in Category Management team of a Packed Food Company in Mumbai, India.

When I look for the part time roles I only find shady MLM and some delivery jobs. Nothing wrong in delivery jobs, but I am more inclined towards WFH role as me and my wife are pregnant.

Can you guys suggest where can I find reliable part time roles?

Thanks,
Kunal
