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?
My contract was unsurprisingly not extended this week after I couldn't keep from calling the CD out when he was blaming a junior for a mistake that was fully his own. "You should have known I mistakenly approved that because it's not up to my standards!" after the client didn't like his concept, spit flying as he was screaming at her. I at least wish it meant I was a good person but I just hate the guy. The job market is good, right? Right??
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.
A1 Yup!!!
Good for him.
The lead is being buried.. he’s still a vice chair of Accenture song.. if anything he’s gonna be more involved in the agency now I bet.
I no longer see his profile on LinkedIn. So unless I’m mistaken, I reckon he’s checked out (good timing perhaps?) Probably in Sydney overseeing the construction of his new house. They demolished the old cottage down a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the new build. He essentially paid $30 million for a small block of land.
Sure, the end, just like it was for Greg Hahn 😂
They can finally change the song to something else.
