What is the pinnacle of creative success? I love working with creative, and I’m always curious what ideas drive passionate work. Is it events? TV? Involved social campaign? Unique physical ads?

When are you the most proud of your work? And what is that work?

Advertising creative lies at the base of the garbage-strewn, rat-infested foothills below the mountain range of artistic expression

I find people with a deep disdain for the industry are much better at creating fresher work for it

The pinnacle of creative success is leaving the industry on your own terms.

Making myself laugh. I don’t even care if it gets produced, simply writing a good joke is the pinnacle for me.

I think the goal is just getting work made (doesn’t have to be that great.) But the pinnacle in advertising is probably a passion project being made or crazy pitch idea being selected. Those can change careers and have potential to be creative

The friends we make along the way

We sell or else.

If I want to be creative, I do my own side projects. Here, I'm creating on someone else's behalf and on their dime. My artistic soul isn't fed by CTAs or banner ads but my belly is.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

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.
