How does one make it into Adweek's Creative 100?
Earlier this year, I pushed for a promotion but was told to wait until the next cycle in June/July. While waiting, I started exploring opportunities elsewhere. No offers yet but I’ve been getting interviews. My question: if I get promoted this cycle, then later receive a better offer abroad and decide to leave soon, would that burn bridges with my current agency? Would appreciate any advice from people who’ve navigated something similar.
How do you handle requesting a higher freelance rate than what you’ve been at with an agency?
One thing I keep getting asked in interviews is "what's the most amount of money a client ever spent on an ad you made?" I was at an agency where they kept us siloed from the money. I did performance ads for huge clients - Disney, Roblox, etc. I was told which ads were doing well, which were winners, but not what the client was spending on running the ads. Am I alone in this experience from working for agencies? The interviewer is always surprised I cant answer and I worry it hurts me.
Looking for some general resume advice. keeping things to one page? I've got like 8 years of experience Do freelance stints need bullet points? It was during COVID and I didn't make any book worthy work. At what point should you remove an internship from the doc? I have an okay handle on gaming out ATS and using jobscan (open to other resources), but answers to the above or general advice is very welcome. thank you!
You meet a lot of cool, talented people in this industry who inspire you… and then you meet absolute hacks who make you question everything in life while they’re behind the wheel.
1. Make good work. 2. Make your agency pay ADWEEK thousands of dollars for coverage on you. 3. Profit.
Your agency pays for it
Money & advocates
I was on it this year, and apparently, they asked people around the industry, and someone I know outside of my current agency nominated me. adweek picked me. my current agency did nothing.
Congratulations for being nominated and recognized! There’s a lot of shade thrown. And certainly these lists aren’t definitive rankings. But they are still an honor and the people on them deserve to be celebrated. Also the category for Rising Talent is called that for a reason. They have great potential and their best work SHOULD be ahead of them.
Not necessarily by being a top 100 creative.
But a set of knee pads and recyclable barf bags.
Have your portfolio school friends get you a job at their agency, kiss the right asses.
I’m ridiculously attractive
Look really cool.
Not even! Just young. Like v v young.
Your agency submits you and writes a case for why you deserve it.
Idk, the list isn’t completely made up of advertising creatives…maybe do a spin off of Heated Rivalry
