What is the structure of your agency creative team? How many people, teams, roles, titles?

3 CDs handling different accounts and under each of them are two sets of AD & CW. Designers and studio are shared resources

This sounds like a dream structure

I’ll give you my old spot.

Sr. AD
CD

In pharma creative structure is something like:
Jr. AD > AD > Sr. AD > Art Sup. > Group Art Sup. > VP GAS > ACD > VP ACD > SVP ACD > CD > SVP CD > ECD

Too many glorified titles.

Obviously the ECD leads the entire creative team under them. Speaking within a big agency there’s maybe 5+ ECD’s that have 5+ accounts/teams they manage.

Depending on how big your account is you may only have a 3-4 Art folks on a team. Usually like 2 ADs, and 1 Supervisor that reports to an ACD then reports to a CD.

Good grief…

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
