The Vibe Check: What’s Hot in Adland?
First off, what are we seeing out there? Gone are the days of squeaky-clean, generic ads. We’re in an era of authenticity, darling. Think: real people, real stories. "Street casting" isn't just a buzzword anymore; it's become the go-to. Brands are all about connecting with their audience on a relatable level.

Then, of course, there’s the whole social media thing. TikTok dances, viral challenges - if it's trending, brands want in! These campaigns need actors who are not just good, but are on it with the latest trends.

Network (and Not Just on LinkedIn): Go to events, take classes, connect with other creatives. The more people you know, the more opportunities might just fall into your lap.
