    He founded a famous agency, made bank when he sold it, first to WME then to Accenture, served as CEO of the world's biggest holding company (more $ revenue than Publicis) and walks away rich and happy in his mid 50s. That's a pretty good end.

    Feels like a beginning we’d all love to have.

    Glad to see this and good for him. He sold Droga5 for nearly half a billion, so any work past that was purely sport or contractual.

For those of you who jumped and went brand side, did you pay to have your resume ATS optimized? If so, what did you pay? I'm being courted by a major brand, but being told that my ad agency resume needs to be ATS optimized to move forward.

Is it unprofessional to wear your previous agencies merch on camera at your current job for internal meetings (not client)? It’s just a long sleeve with the logo on the shoulder. Do people care/notice?

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?

To all the recent grads just starting your careers and feeling like you don’t have much to contribute, please make a copy of this and put it somewhere you can see it. It’s a bit corny but so true and effective and will work for you your entire career. Anyone else agree?

I know that partnership reviews are part of business but they give me so much anxiety. We've known that the Coke partnership contract is up for renewal in 2027 and it was just announced today that the media business is up for review again. Although I work on the creative side, I still get so anxious. I am beginning to see why people are jumping ship to smaller indies, these big holding companies and global clients are only concerned about the bottom line and not their people. Not surprising.
