Hi folks
I wanted a suggestion from you all guys, I have given interview of PS and got a call for offer after interview and I denied the offer as I have received an offer from some other company, I denied coz I was not doing offer shopping or piling offers, he tried to convince me and when I didn't get convinced he said to blacklist me from PS. What to do?

Are we all fucked?

Hi fishes! I volunteer with The Art of Good, a creative collective helping small businesses affected by the pandemic. They are seeking a little help from a media professional. Need an SEM POV for a small business looking to change their name and relaunch their brand. This is non-paid. More about giving back while in-between gigs. :) If you can help out or want to learn more, please reach out to me via LinkedIN. Thank you!! www.linkedin.com/in/karenkohn/

Another tip: if you're unsure of the agency's dress code check their geo-tag on Instagram to gauge.
Gingham shirt,chinos, cole Haan zero grands and a navy blazer
I once interviewed a guy wearing a t-shirt that read "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING FUCK". His portfolio wasn't nearly as ballsy as he was, but it made me consider him for slightly longer than I would've otherwise. So yeah if all you've got going for you are the clothes you choose, then maybe wear something that helps you stand out. But honestly, if what you're wearing has any real influence on your interviewer then you probably don't want to work for them. IMHO.
On a side note - I think it's adorable when recent grads come in wearing a full suit, with sweaty palms and a pad of legal paper in a leather portfolio. I just want to pat them on the head and tell them everything is going to be OK.
What city?
Depends on the agency/team/role. Always better to be slightly overdressed but you don't want to overkill. Suit, no tie is my go to. I'd avoid jeans unless you're a creative.
I always wear a suit no matter what. I think I'm the exception though.
Also depends on department.
My best interviews recently have all been business casual. Dress shirt, navy blazer, black jeans, dress shoes. Make sure you're comfortable.
Go the other way - full 3 piece suit with pocket watch. Tux if it's board level
Are you a woman or man? If woman, wear a dress that is classy, professional but shows you work in the creative industry. Fun shoes and a black dress also a great option.
For guys: long sleeve button down shirt (keep patterns at a minimum or non at all), dark chinos, dark dress shoes. Safe and professional without coming across as trying too hard or being too casual.
What works for me (female, account, NYC): black, on trend pant suit (not too trendy but not frumpy, either - just up-to-date) with either an interesting blouse or cool earrings, and kitten- heel sling backs. Or a knee-length dress, same accessories.
