Valentine’s Day is a great time to take stock of all relationships in your life, especially the creative ones. Why?
There’s a beauty in aging, gaining wisdom, and understanding what truly matters. Yet, in our industry, it often feels like a delicate dance—balancing the energetic drive of the young with the seasoned insights of the experienced.
Advertising agencies rarely celebrate the long tenures of their seasoned professionals with retirement parties. Instead, older employees are often the first to go during layoffs or subtly pressured to leave, making way for waves of entry-level hires. It’s a harsh reality that underscores the industry’s preference for fresh, inexpensive, faces over the wisdom of experience. This cycle perpetuates a culture that prioritizes youthful energy over the rich expertise of seasoned professionals, often at the expense of valuable industry knowledge.
In advertising, it’s crucial to never get too comfortable. Keep that fire and curiosity burning. We built our agency to value the wisdom and experience of seasoned agency veterans. Here, your work isn’t produced by interns but by professionals who have honed their craft over decades. We believe in balancing fresh ideas with the steady hand of experience to deliver exceptional results.
