A new one in my LinkedIn messages: "I've been asked to reach out to you..." I don't know if I've ever received an expression of interest so devoid of interest. I'm hooked already.

One Meeting After Another

The :60 isn't dead. It's alive and well in every creative's portfolio.

IMPORTANT announcement about timesheets you guys are going to want to hear... It's been a long time coming, but finally we can say... We have a new kind of timesheets.

"We need a manifesto," "We're going to start a movement," OK you're scaring me right now

Never meet your heroes (they all promote gambling apps)

It was a great meeting, I saw lots of heads shaking

I'm going to handle my next client presentation like a politician in a cable news interview: [Client asks clear, reasonable Q] "I'm not sure what you're implying." [Follow-up Q] "I never said that." [Am confronted with my actual words] "You're taking my words out of context."

Today marks the start of the most magical time of year. Q4. I feel sorry for people on a July 1 - June 30 fiscal calendar, honestly.

Fat Generals is a great agency name, actually

The sound the desktop garbage can makes when you put stuff in it is too clean. Too dry. It should be an unsavory, offputting sound. Also there should be a smell.

I don't know much about the economy, but daily check-in and stand-up inflation is real

AI meeting notes are not feedback

Reducing screen time* is good for your mental health (*Figma, Teams, Outlook, Excel)

Trying a thought experiment where I tell myself my JOB is in fact a RESIDENCY

I can't explain it but things really started to fall apart with the democratization of step-and-repeats. Like, why does this middle school fundraiser have a red carpet? What are we doing.

(Handing out compliments at work) Wow where did you learn to talk so much!

Ad people shushing everyone at a Super Bowl party:

(Sends deck at 4:58) As promised, here is a pre-read of the work we'll be walking you through at 5

Oh no I've aged into the target audience

The hardest thing I've done in the last week was cutting something from 600 to 300 words and have it still make sense

In a coffee shop overhearing your end of a work call. Have to say, I'm not convinced.

Prob one of the biggest tentpole moments on the content calendar tomorrow. Up there with the Super Bowl and the Oscars, you'd have to say.

All this sports is really making it hard to enjoy my gambling ads

New York City... you mean the place from the OOH comps?

"Designer correcting a typo" is the level of relaxation I'm going for

Giving a copywriter edit privileges in the Figma

The Summer I Turned Billable

When the meeting billed as a "collaborative work session" turns out to be just you presenting everything

The key to a better social media experience is never clicking anything

Great meeting! As a reward, please accept this invitation to another meeting.

Hooters is rebranding -- a process they're calling "Re-Hooterization" -- and I for one am eagerly looking forward to the informed and nuanced cultural discourse....

Reading the feedback emailed after the call, which ended with "Wow guys thank you for this, SO much great thinking here"

That you would even insinuate such a thing, @thecut.com. How dare you.

Idris Elba promoting B2B agentic AI platforms... is this really where we want to be as a society?

Welcome back, Ren 💥 www.campaignlive.com/article/excl...

It's "low lift"? Well I'm here because I can't do real labor, so I would hope so.

Hi it's me, the person who has questions three minutes into the meeting. I know where this is going. I've anticipated everything.

How it feels to be a copywriter on a brief working solo w/o an AD partner

Launching a brand redesign in 2025

How do you have time to post about being locked in?

It's not a tagline but it's not a positioning statement but it's not a rallying cry but it's not a brand platform but it's not a creative territory but it's not a north star but it's not a strategic pillar but it's no

Me: "workshare" Zoom chat autocorrect: Yorkshire Me: OK, "work share" ZCA: she share great stuff

(Going off cam) brb the robots are here

AI note-taker trying to join my one-on-one gossip sesh

This is fun! It's like a game at this point.

Reese Witherspoon... the generative AI evangelist?

When I say "my bb" this is who I'm talking about

Say what you want about advertising being a self-congratulatory industry, at least we don't do 15-minute standing ovations

We're going to give up our em dashes just like that? Maybe we do deserve to be replaced.
