you spelt fred wrongA whole second thread, I'm proud of us all for gossiping enough to reach this point
ah ok i have never worked as a creative nor studied a creative subject - but have worked in some of the WPP group agencies (dont want to out myself with my role). Not Ogilvy, actually turned it down because their offer was the lowest one - but maybe client budget was low. But have never come across teams, even with juniors. But i know beck refers to her as her bff, they go on holidays together and buy each other gifts.People that I went to art school with are still in their ad agency partnerships *cough mumble many* decades later. I chose to go into publishing (don't do it kids), and I met my editor partner at work. We left the company to become freelance so it's very common to present yourself as a self employed team to work on a project.
Was it definitely live earlier?ah ok i have never worked as a creative nor studied a creative subject - but have worked in some of the WPP group agencies (dont want to out myself with my role).

www.hanandbecks.com looks like theyve shut their site down! Wonder if they saw the posts here about how terrible their portfolio was.
Yup, attached some of Beck’s amazing copywriting skills. This is her JOB, this is her PORTFOLIO! Pretty much every page had mistakes and poor grammar. She’s thick as shitWas it definitely live earlier?
Oooh she's had her tattle catch up thenYup, attached some of Beck’s amazing copywriting skills. This is her JOB, this is her PORTFOLIO! Pretty much every page had mistakes and poor grammar. She’s thick as shit
I know she mentioned that she’s dyslexic in her pointless facts video, surely there’s endless other lines of work more suitable for her. Obviously it’s something she can’t help, but why would you pursue a career where correct spelling and grammar is so important?Yup, attached some of Beck’s amazing copywriting skills.

Yep, I don't think it's ableist to say someone in a wheelchair can't be an acrobat - and if her dyslexia is so bad that nobody should criticise her posts, pronunciation or videos in general (which is what she's insinuating) - then she needs to simply find a job that doesn't involve a lot of writing or speech-making.I know she mentioned that she’s dyslexic in her pointless facts video, surely there’s endless other lines of work more suitable for her.

I wanted to say this but thought maybe I just didn't know enough about dyslexia. Grammarly and Word's spell check exist, right? Surely there are ways around it. It feels like laziness to me too.Those mistakes don't even look like dyslexia at all. Just pure lazy writing/editing.
100% this. That’s also why she comes across as successful - super confident, talks the talk and loves her work because it’s such an ego boost.She's probably one of these people who can blag their way through an interview because she is very chatty, say all the right things, hit the buzz words.... but then when they see her work in action they're actually horrified and are wondering how they can sack her off ASAP
She gives me the impression that everything that goes wrong is always someone else's fault, never the consequences of her actions or how she behaves
I work in something somewhat close to sales, and this is 100% right even for my industry. You see them hop jobs every 6 months, claiming 'bigger and better opportunities', while anyone who actually works with them can tell you they're utterly useless at their job. They survive in the initial training period - where you're given more allowances for stupid mistakes - by being chatty and 'fun' but end up in the same role in a different company, because when push comes to shove, they're all talk and no substance. And while they chatter away, they'll throw you under the bus when it comes to explaining why they're so inadequate.100% this.

So even though it still shocks me, i can see how she got an entry level job Ogilvy.
But she will struggle to ever get promoted. And everyone must dread working with her.
She should do another role, one more admin-y, but she wont be happy unless she’s doing something creative.
