The match nobody has been waiting for!

Don't expect Chiat LA to give the layoffs the same 'Disruptive' LinkedIn treatment they gave their bronze lion wins. Leadership is always eager to humanize the agency when holding a trophy, but dead silent when handing out pink slips.

Tell me if this is normal/okay: I’m in a Sr AD role and wrote a concept for us to shoot, promoting an experience that was my idea. It was well thought out and I wrote a script. The day of the shoot, my CD decided to direct the talent with my script. I was on set thinking “wtf” and wasn’t sure if that was normal or not. The worst part is that they totally tanked with the direction and we ended up scraping the footage and the idea. I feel like if I wrote it, I should have directed. Thoughts?

Probably walking into a lions den with this one…Art Directors when you were juniors how and when did you learn what a concept vs an execution? And tips on how to better conceptual thinking? Because I’m feeling really stupid right now.

I’m always amazed when Jrs can’t write post copy…you literally grew up with this.
