You killed the creatives, trained the machines on their work, and called it progress. Now show me the f**king results. Show me the case studies. Or admit it: you’re just selling clients the illusion of innovation while bleeding the soul out of the industry.

Viva la resistance. Love the energy.

Yeah, but it will take the clients a few years to realize they’ve been had and that they all have been smoking from the same bong offered by the holding companies. By the time they realize this, the CEOs will be out with their golden parachutes leaving a destroyed industry in their wake. From those ashes, a new creative industry could rise like the Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 and there could be a whole creative renaissance. But this won’t happen without lots of casualties first. And by then, you and I will either have left the industry, be “retired” working as a greeter at Walmart or maybe be one of the very few survivors.

@GCS Sorry bud, the bong is for the clients just to keep them hoodwinked around long enough to fleece them.

ROI is the Holy Grail. If your key measurement is about efficiency, why worry about effectiveness? And let's face it ... no one can tell good from bad anymore, so go with cheap and fast.

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
