Recession. Advertising is often a leading indicator of insecurity in the market. The pull back has started already.

Recession?

Not an expert by any means but it seems correlated to Q1 earnings and companies deciding to scale back if needed? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s a cyclical industry for one. Additionally, I’ve historically seen Q2 have lower hiring needs as Q1 is typically very active. Additionally, the frenzy of the last year is overwhelming in some regards

Hiring opportunities can change from month to month.

I think things are slowing down tbh.

5 weeks ago I told my boss we need to start working on a “we’re open again” spot.

This morning at 6 am she texted me - “Need you to kick off a ‘we’re open again’ spot with the agency. Tell them they have 1.5 weeks to stand it up.”
