Meek? If you have a salary and benefits, there are legs feverishly paddling under the surface. Leadership looks different everywhere, but it shows in the operations and financials.

FCB this is what I was talking about. Creative quality and honestly strategy as well since good strat is always a good foundation for work. I just want to work at a place where growth of creative and pushing each to evolve is a focus. Alot places talk about it but not alot of agencies have the structure to follow through and be competitive.

You’re very green. Be careful about making judgements like this because there is so much going on that you have no idea about. Unless your agency is like 12 people, but still, you never know.

Sorry not trying to prescribe advice, just trying to share my bad experiences in hopes that others can avoid them! I’ve never been at a large agency either, only 3 indies up to this point. I agree with you though, if you’ve been there that long you should absolutely bail. Again sorry if I came across as telling you what to do. I admire your desire to work hard. Always down to DM or connect if you want. I may need a freelance AD partner for some freelance in the very near future.

I get what you’re saying. It seems like there are fewer and fewer places to build your book, especially as a junior.

Look for independent agencies run by creatives. They’re basically the only hope we have as an industry.

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Should I update my LinkedIn to say Salesforce Admin? I’ve been certified since October, so I have the role in my headline, but I’m thinking it’s time to update it in my work experience. I have been transitioned to work on only Salesforce related items with the company’s Salesforce Admin. When I asked my boss about a title change, however, they said that it’s doable but want to wait until performance reviews so they can couple it with a pay increase. As nice as this sounds I feel like It’s BS.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat?

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
