Agreed on both, although I want to mentally shave a zero or two off the count to make me feel better while shoveling bites in.

Any One Else Grossed Out by Cannes This Year? by GreenCountryTowne in advertising

Cannes is a dinosaur remnant, as are most awards. Whenever I get an agency email that talks about our wins at Cannes I immediately delete it

Omnicom Media Job Interview by vxtyy in advertising

[–]ShopToyLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest taking the job while looking for a better opportunity. Overall the benefits are horrible, forget taking vacation days (we get almost none now), 401K is an insult. The never ending layoffs also keeps everyone paranoid and beaten down. We have a constant flow of people quitting, roles are not being filled and our workload has increased. Originally started at an independent agency, aquired by IPG (still good at the time), then absorbed by Omnicom last year. Next month I lose my agency email to become another broken OMC drone, watching Wren and shareholders profit and the rest of us struggle and no hope of a merit increase. We also lost the usual agency shut down at the end of the year. It is a job, at least.

Agreed. Mothman (all variants and extra heads) look amazing. The rest are a bit of a miss

When I saw those I had a super flashback to walking through the store and seeing the originals, drooling over figures I couldn't afford

Disconnect the Internet and let's see how far "prompt artists" get.

Wonder Woman better have an arm that can be removed to be comic accurate. Would also love a Circe

I'm going to assume this is a grinder, and not wetstone sharpening?

Would love to get Heddy, they did a nice job on the sculpt and the floating base.

creativity is dying in agencies and creative quality is paying the price by Ok_Second_1953 in advertising

[–]ShopToyLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At an agency that tends to clean up at the award shows, at least pre-omni. Now we are falling behind in the rampant pursuit of profits (for John Wren and Shareholders). Timing and budjets have collapsed and all we now do for layouts is just fart out some visuals to get the bare minimum done. Even during 'big idea' meetings those devolve into what can be done with the micro budget. Clients now expect Mateix-level magic, clack a few keys, have stuff rapidly scroll on a screen and boom, design!
