We kicked off the week at Wieden+Kennedy, the birthplace of this phrase, but I heard variations of this advice at almost every agency we visited. Advertising is a crazy industry and often, tight deadlines can leave everyone in a crunch. Especially as a junior in the industry, it’s your job to do anything you can to help. Even if it doesn’t fall within your discipline, if you’re capable of a task – DO IT. I heard examples ranging from people making last minute edits of decks to someone running to a rental car agency to pick up a car while the rest of the team worked. The overarching message was to be helpful, because good advertising relies on even better teamwork.
Be a team player.
Help others.
Succeed together.
