What do you enjoy most about being in the advertising industry?
As an agency, creatives are innovative and don't always fit the mold of working at a traditional company. They often do things a little bit differently, which is definitely true of our creatives, strategists, and even account people like myself.
We appreciate that the environment is fast-paced and that we can pitch whatever we want, without strict bounds on what we can achieve. There's no finance person telling us something is too expensive, nor a business development person stating it doesn't fit our priorities.
We are briefed on projects that clients are genuinely willing to pay for, allowing us to pitch bold ideas. This means the games that often need to be played when working client-side are unnecessary here.
I believe this is due to the creative nature of our work and the people we work with. We have some wonderfully unique and interesting individuals with great style and interests outside of their work, which sparks great office conversations.
Many people in advertising love this culture. It's a unique collection of people. Once people reach a certain age, they often move client-side. But for now, it's the younger individuals who are having fun and creating great things, before they eventually move on.
