The rise of independent agencies in lieu of holding companies.

More stability. Less layoffs. Better financial compensation.

Also:

- Better leadership or at least an emphasis on inspiring teams through a mission (that doesn’t feel contrived) rather than leading through fear

- Standardized ethical guidelines put in place for how creatives and agencies utilize AI

- Improved work/life balance

(I’ve started exploring pivot opportunities in tech or on the brand side for compensation reasons alone)

@acd1, yes. lost a few freelance gigs because of the uncertainty. Right after the inauguration my creative partner and I lost a gig.

Another agency rescinded a long term placement and the hiring team said, “trump’s economy is a problem”. And this was an agency located in of a conservative part of the nation.

I’m a 7th year associate. I’ve practiced L&E my entire career in big law for large multi-national companies. I like my job, but I’m burned out. I have two kids under two and will, in all likelihood, go for gold and make it three under three to be done. I’m over traveling. I’m over traveling for trials. I’m over litigation in general. I want to switch sides of the v and open my own firm. I’m digging into how feasible this would be for me. Does anyone have any good resources? Books, podcasts, etc

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
