I hear you, but at least for senior level creatives it’s literally become part of their job to build the agency’s profile and sadly LinkedIn, for all its grating nonsense, has become a cornerstone of that.
That’s actually the problem, AM1. They’re tasked with building a positive association to the agency and tanking it on LinkedIn.

Hot take: it’s mainly through the passive consumption of their LinkedIn feeds that many lazy marketer types actually find out about most of the advertising work that’s out there these days. If the industry doesn’t talk about the work, who will?
I think you guys misread the post. They’re not posting about work.
It's a circle jerk of work. People will praise an Instagram post these days. So stupid
god forbid someone have some fun on a social networking platform
Bunch of nerds at Tombras make cringey millennial humor type posts
Love this. I had the same feeling. Is there a new era of influencers from ad agencies?
I actually think these types of posts help break up the constant faux thought leadership BS. At least they’re funny/entertaining occasionally.
I can name names. I won’t, but we all could.

Eh, more people should take the piss on that platform, honestly.
Full circle moment
The people who don’t see the value in this are the same people that want creatives to wear a silly hat to the pitch to show that they are cultured.
I have wondered too. Some I worked with in the past do it; trying to position themselves a "thought leaders." Get over yourself, we're all just trying to survive in this economy. It's so cringe.....
Eh like it or not, I know people who have gotten good jobs through it. We are all just trying to survive our here and hard to knock it if it works for them
i cant stand joe meier
OP, let’s not act like that’s not a reflection of the actual work we produce as creatives. A lot of the stuff we make is bad and “cringe”. Are you upset that not every post you see is tears-inducing funny?
OP is right. Let’s get some more lies about the strategy behind Duo Lingo, or maybe we can make Cannes recaps a year-round thing?
Examples?

My last boss would make us like and comment on linkedin and ig for agency posts. It’s all theater and kind of the norm now with social media sadly.
Anybody doing it right?
George Tannebaum is about the only regular creative poster worth reading. And even he gets tiresome as the main themes can’t help but repeating.
