We're here! A good account person does what's best for the bigger picture which means we should never be order takers. We should push yet protect our creatives while simultaneously listening to but pushing back on clients when necessary. Our job is to keep the ship not only from sinking, but to get it to its final destination in tact.

Not just creatives (or any other internal team), but the audience. If I’m sitting thru ads I want to be entertained, not repeatedly exposed to tired Scrubs guys. Give us some Buffet Boy-level fun we can actually enjoy!

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award?

And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
