I worked at the same 20-person agency with my wife for about a year. It was great but I also love my wife very much and enjoy spending time with her so it wasn’t a big deal.

Met my wife (producer) where we worked, 20 some years ago, now we work together at a different shop for the first time since then. Never have been on the same production, or we'd probably not still be married :)

I know people who are/were in the same office but different departments (HR and strat, accounts and creative) and it worked fine. Even people who were in the same department made sure they were on different accounts.

Just make sure to have a talk with your wife about making sure conflicts of interest don't happen at work and how to make sure work doesn't interfere with your relationship.

generally speaking it’s a massive conflict, but ad agencies are already fairly non traditional, so if all parties are fine with the potential risks, why not?

My wife and I work at the same agency but we're crazy about each other and our paths rarely cross. It's convenient and we save on gas but when one of us has to work late and the other doesn't it can be a drag.

Have worked with my wife at multiple agencies. We work really well together and it’s never been a problem.

I’ve seen so many cd art/copy pairs that are married or couples I honestly don’t know how that works, love my partner and I think we are very close but I couldn’t imagine being in a relationship and being a working partner at the same time hahaha

most office-couple i know are the co-founders. lol
