Dear Jancy, I am currently a creative advertising student, and recently I have been attending many advertising related events. I quickly realized that having a business card handy to give out is almost mandatory. The problem I am having is that I have no idea what to put as a ‘job title’ on a business card. I thought that since I do ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/10/what-should-i-put-on-my-business-card/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/04/looking-to-formally-compensate-a-friend-for-his-help/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/04/looking-to-formally-compensate-a-friend-for-his-help/#comments Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:53:56 +0000 Ignacio Oreamuno http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2048
Hi “Jancy” I have a question about compensation. I have a new biz and am excited about working on one of our very first accounts! I was introduced to this client by a mutual friend and it seems as if this friend has several more potential clients that he can introduce to me as well (not a bad friend to have ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/04/looking-to-formally-compensate-a-friend-for-his-help/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/03/can-a-director-who-has-made-ads-become-an-agency-creative/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/03/can-a-director-who-has-made-ads-become-an-agency-creative/#comments Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:43:05 +0000 Ignacio Oreamuno http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2043
Dear Jancy: Am I going about my job hunt the right way? A little background on myself first though. After finishing school (undergrad in English Lit & Business then post-grad in Film) I found myself working as a cinematographer for a video game developer. What I was really doing was directing the cut scenes for next generation games. ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/03/can-a-director-who-has-made-ads-become-an-agency-creative/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/02/i-found-me-a-mentor-now-what/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/02/i-found-me-a-mentor-now-what/#comments Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:09:49 +0000 Ignacio Oreamuno http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2041
Hello Jancy, I am a first year advertising student in a 3 year college program. We recently took a tour of an agency, and after picking up Pick Me, I was well prepared for the Q&A period. At the end of the tour, the AD asked if I would like to meet the CD, which I agreed. She explained to him that ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2010/03/02/i-found-me-a-mentor-now-what/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/12/02/my-agencys-a-creative-dead-end-im-afraid-my-book-will-reflect-this/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/12/02/my-agencys-a-creative-dead-end-im-afraid-my-book-will-reflect-this/#comments Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:33:57 +0000 Brett http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2030
I’m a jr copywriter in Toronto who’s in a difficult situation and I could really use some advice. I started my career at one of the best shops in the city, winning some local awards and learning the secrets of advertising from some great creatives. I was let go due to budget cuts and ended up working at a very mediocre ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/12/02/my-agencys-a-creative-dead-end-im-afraid-my-book-will-reflect-this/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/12/01/making-the-jump-from-ireland-to-canada/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/12/01/making-the-jump-from-ireland-to-canada/#comments Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:20:32 +0000 Brett http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2026
Hi Ladies, How are you both? My question is: Has advertising in Canada been affected by the recession as bad as other places in the world? I’m from Ireland. Things have been fairly bad here. With dramatic budget and job cuts, the realm of advertising here has suffered big time. I luckily kept my job. Due partly to the fact I’m a junior ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/12/01/making-the-jump-from-ireland-to-canada/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/23/my-partner-wont-let-me-do-any-of-the-talking/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/23/my-partner-wont-let-me-do-any-of-the-talking/#comments Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:56:43 +0000 Brett http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2022
I am an Asian art director in a good shop in Vancouver, and have been working here for five months now. Lately, I’ve been having problems in meetings since my partner seemed to do all the talking. Even though I decided to ask him to share the talking equally. He simply said “You jump in when you want to explain the ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/23/my-partner-wont-let-me-do-any-of-the-talking/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/11/highly-polished-visuals-vs-sketched-ideas-in-my-book/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/11/highly-polished-visuals-vs-sketched-ideas-in-my-book/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:03:07 +0000 Brett http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2018
I have been working mostly in below the line DM agency for the past few years my background was graphic design. I recently completed a one year part time course in creative advertising. My question is this. When you look at someone’s book do you feel it necessary to see highly polished photoshop visuals or are well executed sketches ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/11/highly-polished-visuals-vs-sketched-ideas-in-my-book/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/11/ads-for-tv-shows-and-movies-too-easy-for-my-book/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/11/ads-for-tv-shows-and-movies-too-easy-for-my-book/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:59:00 +0000 Brett http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2015
I’m a junior trying to break into the ad world, and I was wondering if it’s okay to do ads for a TV show or a movie in my book. I have some amazing ideas for some TV shows, stuff that would be infinitely better than the “Watch House Mondays 8/7 Central on Fox”. I’ve never understood why so many ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/11/ads-for-tv-shows-and-movies-too-easy-for-my-book/feed/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/09/rolling-the-dice-on-a-european-opportunity/ http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/09/rolling-the-dice-on-a-european-opportunity/#comments Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:18:19 +0000 Brett http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/?p=2003
My partner and I have been a creative team for about 4 years. We work at a large NY agency and recently were approached by a large worldwide agency about working at one of their offices in Europe. The destination is amazing, and the agency is a very well-respected one, but the client we’d be working on about 60% (or ...]]> http://ihaveanidea.org/askjancy/2009/11/09/rolling-the-dice-on-a-european-opportunity/feed/
