Traffic Managers unite!

Dawn as Traffic Management

Aug|13|2008

Around the globe, ad agencies continue to appear, grow, disappear, re-appear, and everything in between. The 2002 US Census, under category 5418 (Advertising & Related Services) sites 38,058 establishments.

Wow… That’s a lot of agencies and, potentially, a lot of Traffic Managers.

What if every “agency workflow manager” in the US – even if only by job function versus official title – were to set aside a few minutes of the day to post questions, make comments, share tips, and generally discuss their experiences? Think of the volume of information that would be available on the Net - a “Traffic Union” of sorts (without Jimmy Hoffa, of course).

Personally, I’d love to hear what my fellow anal-retentive, type A, and slightly obsessive-compulsive “teamsters” have to say!

    I’m in. I created a position for myself in an Austin Texas ad agency that didn’t have any traffic or project management department at all. I’m lonely, but so busy that I don’t have time to dwell on it!

    Anyone interested in starting a Facebook group?

    This is a great idea. I am w/ a small, but rapidly growing agency, and I used to be the person that answered phones & opened mail (& I still do that too!) I could use and enjoy some “networking” w/ other traffic managers.

    A Facebook group is a great idea, Marcellina and Linda. I’ll see what I can pull together! Dawn Marie
