Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.

I found one of my coworker's anonymous Twitter accounts, and it has a ton of red flags involving bigotry, sexism, etc. It's a personal account, so should I mention it to HR or not?

Has anyone else ever dated a coworker?

For experienced hires, is there any job related technical trainings during the first few weeks?

I wish I could get paid to write the garbage plaintiffs counsel just filed.

Looking to get into some volunteer work - any ideas for a good cause in the area?

I just had a final round with a company and they’re asking me for details on my other offer (which I mentioned because it moved up my timeline). Should I tell them?

Any tips / strategies / exercises for helping gain clarity around what I actually WANT to do work-wise?

Hi BIA fish! I’d like to connect with a designer for custom logo creation (paid job) on a personal passion project of mine. If that’s you or someone you know I’d love to reach out!

Happy MLK day, people,
I know a host of you here and would like to determine if there would be interest in attending an open session on career advice for young professionals of color. Talk 2 me.

When seeking a new role, How many different agencies have y’all had to interview with before being hired? I’m on agency number 6 right now I’m so over it. I know my portfolio is amazing because so many recruiters wouldn’t be reaching out if that wasn’t the case. The process is Mad agggggy.

How long did it take you to receive your first promotion? I have 3 years of work experience, currently at my 3rd agency, and third associate position. Four people on my brand team have been promoted (across levels and departments, but none in PM). I'm getting sick of being pumped up with empty praise if others are actually being rewarded with accolades.

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?

Favorite creative from a black-owned brand?

How do you get opportunities to speak on panels? Is it based on networking?

Are you sick of tired of being sick and tired!!??

I know I am. Just like you the recent murders of two black men have done a number on me.... and I can’t just sit still with this. I wanna take action. I want to do something. Create something. Develops something that can create change.

So what is the output? I’m not sure. And that’s why I am reaching out to you all. Let’s use our talent in advertising to make something that will sway people to “PULL UP”!!! Let’s chat!! The time is now!!!!

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

It's August! We made it halfway through the year! What are your goals for this month? Let’s stay motivated 💪🏾
