When the next recession hits, what if ad agencies eliminated their offices rather than people?

God I hope my agency does this

Lol you’re too funny as if that would ever happen

I think there is a difference between “we did fine during lockdown” and “we adapted on the go the best we could”. I don’t think we need to be in the office, but I think we need to better structure the process to make it actually work well. For some people it was the perfect scenario, for others it just became even more toxic the hours and micromanaging bosses.

Hate that idea. I don’t want to be there every day, but we’re better when we can come together. We work less, we work smarter. And it’s a lot more fun.

Agree. But I do think agencies are gonna get into smaller/less sexy spaces.

I wish they would. Honestly think of all the overhead they would save by not having offices. If people can work from home, we should let them.

I work in a firm with about 30 lawyers. Our firm primarily does civil defense work for insurance companies, employers, and some governmental entities.

Have you found a way to show up for friends/family in a public way without risking the guillotine at work?

I’m ready to find another gig. Btw I’m 1.5 years into the industry now soo I’m kinda new-ish. I’ve been working at a small shop, but I’m not a fan of the work we do. We rarely make “big idea” kind of stuff.

My book doesn’t have too many examples of real ad work that aligns with the kind of work I want to do. Is that a huge deal breaker for other agencies?

How does one tailor their book to stand out and transition to an agency that’s making the big stuff they want to make?
