Proactive Mental Health for Ad Agencies

A tailored approach that ensures every ad agency worker receives the support they need to thrive in their demanding environment.

Traditional EAPs aren’t meeting the needs of ad agency workers

Traditional EAPs fall short in addressing the unique challenges and stressors faced by ad agency employees. Challenges like:

Tight Deadlines  |  Creative Burnout  |  Long Hours  |  Client Pressure  |  Work-Life Balance

High Competition  |  Rejection & Criticism  |  Job Insecurity |  Imposter Syndrome  |  Substance Use  

These one-size-fits-all solutions fail to provide the targeted support that ad agency workers desperately need, leaving them vulnerable and unsupported in a high-pressure environment.

Our Tailored Solutions for Ad Agencies

Custom Training and Resources

In the high-pressure, creativity-driven environment of ad agencies, our initiatives support mental health and foster a culture of well-being:

  • Mental Health Awareness Training: Provide training for leaders and managers to reduce stigma and support cultural change.
  • Employee Onboarding: Includes sessions on features and access, as well as the “Mental Wellness for Starting a New Job” and “Mental Health for Ad Agencies” series.
  • Employee Resource Groups: Promote collaboration between employee resource groups to enhance mental health and well-being across the organization.

Effective Communication and Accessibility

Given the dynamic and often remote nature of ad agency teams, we ensure our mental health resources are accessible across various platforms:

  • Text/SMS Engagement: Deliver mental health and well-being reminders and tips via text to keep your workforce informed.
  • Work-from-Home Support: Provide tailored well-being tools and resources for remote employees to ensure their mental well-being

Fostering Community and Engagement

Creating a supportive and engaged community among ad agency employees is crucial for their mental well-being. Our initiatives include:

  • Gratitude Boards: Set up boards in common areas for staff to pin notes expressing gratitude or sharing positive experiences, fostering a sense of community and appreciation.
  • Creative Doodle Hour: Dedicate a short period each week for employees to doodle or sketch their feelings and thoughts, offering a creative way to check in and spark creativity.
  • Mood Boards: Create a digital board where employees can upload images, GIFs, or short videos representing their current mood, providing a visual and creative way to check in on everyone’s mental state.

Flexible, Inclusive Support

To ensure all ad agency employees receive the support they need, we offer comprehensive mental health initiatives:

  • Mindful Breaks: Use Journey’s calendar integration to encourage short, regular breaks throughout the day.
  • Well-being in Meetings: Incorporate Journey’s digital resources for brief mental health practices at the start or end of meetings and brainstorming sessions.
  • Client Meetings: Showcase your commitment to mental health by including a short Journey video in client meetings.
  • Creativity Boosting Sessions: Schedule breaks for mental health exercises designed to enhance creative thinking.
