What's people's secret for working with a team member (e.g. art director if you're a copywriter, copywriter if you're an art director) whose style you just clash with? Do you try to gut it out and just focus on the work, or do you try to get management to switch it up? I usually get along well with other team members, but occasionally there's just that one where it doesn't feel like it's working.

If it’s short term, just focus on the fact that it’ll be over soon, and get to the work. If it’s permanent, that’s much tougher.

Honestly, I use it as a life exercise to meet in the middle. At some point you two will laugh at something together, and that is where the connection can flourish. The more you can laugh together the more y’all will click.

Advocate for a long-term partner and the qualities you look for in them. Do your best to do the job well with whoever you’re paired with for now, but tell a manager you trust that your work would be even better with a partner with whom you could have real creative chemistry. It’s a game changer.

Tier 2 MBA colleges and growth dilemma

At most companies your CTC is decided based on which tier your college is classified under. Most of the times even with a really high experience and stellar performance you won’t be able to match CTCs of freshers from Tier 1 colleges.

How do you solve for similar work profiles for Tier 1 and 2 grads but lower pays for Tier 2 grads?

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

I’ve been reading alot of Les Binet books/reports I’m new to how proper advertising work! I’m mostly focused on digital. But now wanting to get a grip of the bigger picture!

Les Binet mentions alot about brand building and activations, sometimes he will point to out to similar case studies and he would say this is brand building and this is an activation but they are very similar?

Is there books? Coaches? Resources to explain brand building vs activations? W examples for the QSR sub sector?
