Why is it that so many us of hate our jobs in this industry? On paper, it pays pretty well, you get to make stuff and go on shoots etc. It’s not physically gruelling work and it’s not as dull as most office jobs. So what is it that makes us hate it so much? The hours? The creative frustration? The clients?
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?
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.
