100 questions asked. 100 questions answered.
Back in June, I started Just Ask Gill. As a kind of sharing of experiences gathered through the years but also as an open way of doing what I was doing offline in the real world anyway. And also to try something new as I was getting a little jaded in my blogging exploits (since rectified, I hope). And 100 questions have been asked. Wowsers. I didn’t expect that. Yes,a little prodding and promoting on Twitter helped but 100! Crikey. Some silly ones too but that’s perfectly acceptable in my world. I shall stop yakking on about it now. I’ll leave the Ask function open if you want to ask anything. But I’ll let it collect a bit of digital tumbleweed as I have a few other thoughts mulling around. So thank you for asking. I hope you enjoyed it. In the meantime, here’s a selection of my favourite questions that (mainly) pertain to the original mission to save you trawling through the lot: Do you prefer flying solo or managing a team? In the context of account planning, how do you define strategy? I truly hate my job, what should I do? Why are there so many levels in account management? Do I have to keep moving up the ladder? If you are a young planner with little/no L&D structure in your agency, what should you do? Who or what inspires you and why? What do you think makes a good account manager/director in an agency? Rowley’s has been closed down. Where’s John? What is your definition of a creative team within an agency?
