It is totally possible that AI is a massive bubble and the only reason agencies say they are adopting AI is because other agencies are saying they are adopting it and they want to say to clients that they are adopting AI. But nobody is really using these tools in any meaningful way.

I've only ever worked in big traditional creative ad agencies. Got laid off last year, now work in-house. I'm shocked at how much nicer & down-to-earth my current coworkers are. Realizing in retrospect how cliquey & competitive my creative peers were, and how extensively the agency model relies on social hierarchy

Shit. Literally the entire job market in advertising is all in NYC again. Looks like I shouldn't have moved away when I did. The bets were placed on black in the COVID gamble, and its red for us big city refugees I guess... (I'm stuck now, I can never move back with my young fam). All jokes aside, doesn't it feel like the rest of the country just vanished for Ad jobs? Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Miami, LA even (more than the rest sure). Boston is literally completely dead. WTF happened?

Thoughts on being asked to work on a holiday? How do you say no?

Is there a site like ratemyprofessor but for agency clients?
