We think we prefer using “internal talent”

I know I’m in the minority, but I think companies with internal creative teams almost always underestimate their own talent.

l’ve worked on both sides, and I can say that there is absolutely a benefit to using internal creative- they know the business, they care more, they have skin in the game.

When I was working as a designer at an agency it was more like a creative factory, no real ties at all to the client. They come and go. There is more heart on internal teams.

And there is 1000% no reason at all to think they aren’t just as talented. Many people on internal teams have moved there from agencies because they want a better work life balance, simple as that.

I have led internal creative teams for years. This post was related to clients not wanting to hire actors.

We don’t have any budget for this project…

That would be all well and good if they knew what they were doing.

That is code speak for, "The job goes to the best brownnoser and most popular employee."

We’ll stand by to do that in no time for when you realize that didn’t work even a little.

Internal like, ‘Our Cincinnati based junior brand managers will be performing your drill rap :15s about the benefits of consuming cereal bars for children k-12, instead of Cardi- B in your deck. Cyndi went to Bonaroo once, and Bill’s wife does a podcast! ‘ ?
Meh. Honestly, I’d rather watch that.

Clearing this post up a bit. My comment was related to “internal acting talent”.

Ah, yes. "Internal talent." The great euphemism for "we're too cheap to hire a new creative director."

Is it a red flag when a recruiter talks about unrealistic benefits like getting a chance to fly to another state just to visit the client HQ all expense-free? Or is it really a thing? Let me know if you have experience like this.

Hi All,

I have a situation in front of me. I got an offer from small company or we could say startup company Uzio (pdt based) and my manager in current company didn't revert back with any retaining offer. It's been a month and 27 days left in np.
My dilemma is that my current team including reporting manager are very rude and not supportive. I don't want to work in this project. But if I join in that startup company, there's a risk as everyone is talking about recession, firing. Suggestions?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
