I had to start this blog. I just had to. Did you know that people think advertising and marketing is a glamorous life?
Hard work. Yes.
Demanding work. Yes.
Crazy clients? Check.
Great money? Only if you’re in a HUGE ass market.
Cool people to work with? Big hell yeah.
I used to have this vision, probably fed by television shows and romance novels, of the glamorous life I would lead if I became an account executive or a creative or just anything, dammit, at an advertising agency.
ONLY designer clothes.
Mani-pedis weekly.
I’d have to wear Chanel No. 5 because it’s classic and of course, so am I.
Fancy car. Equally lux loft.
Amazing clients with spectacular products for me to write about or manage.
Oh so glamorous parties and client meetings and lunches and dinners and wine and champagne….
Shit.
I was so wrong. It’s not the world you read about in chick-lit novels. All back-biting “clackers” with actual TIME to get mani-pedis and Brazilian waxes and have time for a boyfriend too? Give me a break.
You want a real look at what goes on in an ad agency?
Hop on board. I’ll tell you.
