I’m back
It’s been several months since I last wrote in here, but lately, I’ve been doing more ad agency work, so it’s compelled me to get back on here. Since getting fired from large madison avenue agency, I spent some time being pissed off and feeling sorry for myself, and then started working at a small online media agency; one so small in fact that there is hardly even an office. I’ve been working for them for about 4 months now, doing online media management and account management, and do all of it from the comfort of home. That’s right, no commuting and no waking up at 8am regretting that I didn’t get to sleep early enough the night before. Well, that is, until last week when I got a gig being subcontracted out to another agency, where I have to go into the office for the first couple of weeks.
Here comes the interesting part: I’m an employee of 3 different agencies. I have the title, online marketing manager at 2 of them, and media planner at the third. I have 3 e-mail addresses (one for each) and have to check them all. Two of them are client facing positions, where I constantly have remind myself which company I “work for.” Fortunately, I’m subcontracted out to these 2 other agencies through the one central agency, so I have to bill only one guy for all of the work.
I’ve got to say, my current situation is the best I’ve had so far in my advertising career. Next week, it should be back to working from home.
