"Ad agencies are losing clients to tiktokers" assumes all we do is product shots. We also do suffering. Wait until you go through 18 rounds on one social post and have to deliver work on Sunday evening. Or try and write the same line in 150 diff ways only to see em all die

Advertising is one big appropriation machine. Every time you draw a line from some epic ad about a specific culture or their trauma..you find white people behind it. Stop telling other people's stories. Give em the pen.
