Pharma. The sellouts who still have something to sell

As a freelancer, if it pays the pills, let’s go!

At 45, I was given little choice as no consumer agencies would consider me. At 55 I’m not sure I can get a job at all, even in Pharma. And believe me, I always swore I would never go into Pharma, and it was worse than I ever even imagined when I was forced to. So it’s not always selling out, it’s literally survival for some of us.

My copy partner in one job was fond of divvying up print and digital work as "junk mail" and "spam." He wasn't wrong.

Yeah. But all the Pharma creatives are still employed.

You can’t really believe that. If you do, you’re in a massive CCO bubble.

You sell cream cheese, we sell pills. Everybody’s a sellout and nobody’s an artist. In post-capitalist world with an impending robot takeover, the most important question remains. Who freakin cares?
Gladly will I sell
For profit,
Dear merchants of the town,
My hat laden with snow.
Peace out you big snob.

I’d love to go into pharma. They don’t believe a traditional creative can sell pills so it’s impossible to get a job in it.
