Auckland I hear is good

Yeah probably London

Great advertising tradition but these days, London produces maybe 1 good ad a year and it’s usually a one off rather than a solid campaign.

São Paulo, London

São Paulo was for so many times the most creative city in the world in Cannes, and nobody mentioned it. #smh

How fake are the positions they have now in the American agencies? Stop the hate. They are good. Simple.

If you’re talking about the most awarded regions in the past few years, look at Melbourne, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand for starters.

Yeah but that’s mainly all scam work written purely to win awards. Not impact real culture.

London, Ams, Hamburg, Stockholm

London, Melbourne, Toronto and Sao Paulo all have more than one outstanding agency. It depends on the year, but London output is probably always the strongest.

Melbourne has one max and it’s gone way downhill. Sydney always stronger. But again Auckland is stronger than both pound for pound (and I’m an Aussie)

I see that most of the people here have absolute no idea what they are talking about. It would be really important and healthy to everyone here to learn a little bit about your industry. USA, England, Brazil, Germany and France are the most creative places in the world. Then you have Holland, Spain, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Japan, Sweden. Not necessarily in this order.

City, not country.

I am also being released, however my school has told me that I can come back once i accomplish the tasks I need to accomplish.
For people that are on the fence about the industry, I tell them to try another district. You know what you did and didn't like about your school so you can go in armed to see what another school is like. Don't be afraid to see the school, ask for a tour, talk to the teachers. Sky's the limit!

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
