Tell me if I’m being petty or not: I was a senior creative on a team that literally would just straight up run off with my concepts and leave me behind in the dark. Whenever I presented my concepts, I wouldn’t hear back but would later see my deck designs being used for their own personal projects and concepts. As in, I’d make my deck look all cool, slick and edgy — then they’d litterally take the deck design, remove my concepts and later use it for theirselves. Is that okay or a violation?

Today I complete 6 months at my new brand-side role and tbh I'm so so disappointed. I'm extremely free and bored, there's barely any work, and whatever work there is, it's absolutely garbage. I used to work on campaign ideas and scripts at agencies. Here I'm writing emailers and notifications. Is this normal? My brain is thirsty for some good work. Am I being too ungrateful because at least I have a slow-paced-okay-paying-chill job?

What’s some good Cannes gossip this year ?

I’m considering a move to Omnicom from Publicis- would love to hear from current/former Omnicom people how the vibes are over there.

Probably walking into a lions den with this one…Art Directors when you were juniors how and when did you learn what a concept vs an execution? And tips on how to better conceptual thinking? Because I’m feeling really stupid right now.
