Pluspunten
-One of the healthiest agency environments I've experienced across multiple agencies and roles.
-Leadership was overall accessible, self-aware and responsive to employee feedback.
-Strong, authentic commitment to DEI, especially notable for a Southern-based agency.
-Welcoming and inclusive team dynamics. I felt included from Day One into groups of long-tenured folks.
-More sustainable work-life balance than is typical for agencies of similar size.
-Regular trainings, agency events and knowledge sharing built a real sense of community.
-Deep production capabilities which enables a "let's make this happen" mindset across the agency.
Minpunten
-Navigating resources and priorities could be challenging during busy periods (standard struggle for most agencies).
-As a Southern-based agency, teams occasionally needed to overcome outdated regional stereotypes with new clients or partners.
-Standard holding-company challenges around transparency, promotions and financials.
-From an outside perspective, the recent Omnicom/IPG merger COULD have an impact on agency culture moving forward.
