Why are all good creatives moving to the client side?

Which would you rather? Internal at MBB or client-facing at Big 4/ACN?

Recently laid off and looking for recruiters that specialize in media/strategy/advertising (both agency and client side). Sure there are others looking as well - would greatly appreciate any info.

What can be the expected CTC in India considering my exp. and academics?
If I wish to switch to other Segment, what is the way to switch to other high paying jobs?

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

Hello Fishes, my manager asked me to sanitize the slide and send it to the client that the team presented last week. It’s my first day on working the project. How should I get started and what all things should I take care of before sending the deck?

Is there a corporate way to bring up to senior leaders that an IC is causing issues across multiple teams because they are demanding and also doesn’t collaborate well? The IC gives vague “direction” then says they are too busy to clarify. They also refuse to use our project management/ collaboration tools.

I used to get lit on LITS (Long Island Iced Tea) ummmm you didn’t use lit correctly. But I’m starting to use the word extra correctly. LOL #facepalm

Does anyone know about Sage Group? Seems to be a boutique firm but not sure about their culture and overall dealflow in the market.

Welcome media friends!

Freelancers who have been with the same clients long term, how do you go about requesting a raise?

Do you ASK them? Or do you TELL them that your rates will be going up?

What was your semi monthly take home pay when you finally hit 100k?

Do you remember when “office closed due to inclement weather” meant you had an easy day at home because remote wasn’t a thing yet? Now with a foot of snow coming, office closed means wfh with no backup childcare available….

How often do you reevaluate your working in advertising and how do you process it or what conclusions have you come to? I think about it at least weekly and I’m not sure why.

I love living in NYC. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the kind of job I want here. Can someone suggest me other states where creative agencies are actually hiring?

Who here is freelancing while working full time?

You’ve had a 360-campaign brief for about a week that’s essentially a brand refresh. The expectation in the first-round creative review is scripts and adlobs for each concept. How many concepts to you come back with?

I’m currently freelancing as a CD at reputable agencies. Is it ridiculous to consider full-time ACD-level jobs?

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

When you know where you want to work, who do you reach out to first — the hr/talent/recruiter or directly to the CD or ECD depending on level? Or both?

My ECD keeps changing our work before it goes to client and it's cost us making good work. Our books are suffering because he can't get his hands off the tools. Our books are only full of spec now.

How do agencies decide how much to bill clients? How much is their retention usually?

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?

I came across a copywriter position that I’m interested in, but one of the requirements is 8 years of experience. I’m currently just over 5 years. Would it be ok to still apply?

I need help/advice/emotional support/literally anything.

I’m an in-house designer. My company decided to offer social media marketing packages to our clients. Today they asked me to take full ownership of that outside social media marketing on top of my current job duties.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.

Wtf do I do

How do you feel about work coming out of NYC vs Chicago? Is Chicago regarded as a lower tier market for creatives?

FCB Health Chicago - What’s it like?

What makes a bro?

can a writer explain the new season of Dave to me?

anyone have any great examples of a portfolio/book for strategy? no idea where to start with mine lol

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?
