Strategy

Last week, I attended the MRCC (Media Research Club of Chicago) “State of Media Today” seminar. I had the opportunity to network with many digital research experts. One interesting conversation that I had was with a former Media Director who excitedly told me she switched her career after working more than 10 years at an advertising agency. She was very candid about challenges she faced in regards to increased pressure and stress, limited resources (she was often a team of 1), higher client expectations and unbelievably large workloads. Simply put, she said, “I got burnt out.”
