Anyone have insight on The Martin Agency? I know they have GEICO, which is nice...although I don’t see much GEICO work on the portfolios of their creatives. And can a LA/SF/NYC guy adapt to Richmond?

I love Richmond, it’s an awesome town. And I liked my time at Martin. Hard to get on GEICO.

Same as above. Get in line to get in Geico. Great agency, great creative, but Richmond is an adjustment for sure.

As a native Virginian and current San Franciscan, I can tell you without a doubt that Richmond is a great, great place to be right now. It's a small town, for sure, but there's a great community of artists and creatives, as well as a burgeoning entreprenurial scene. Like most places, Richmond is becoming better as millennials are taking over. Plus it's within striking distance of DC - Phil - NYC. Super nice place, and great for the outdoors if that's your thing.

Also a lot of history there worth exploring

@CW2 in SF now as well! ✋🏻 high five!

Martin has been on a bit of a downfall after Joe Alexander’s scandal and losing the Walmart account. Definitely still produce great work but I wouldn’t say they’re at the level they used to be at.

Would love everyone’s thoughts! Which of these two options would you pick if your goal is to buy and hold for appreciation purposes given these are in a very hot market. Both same lot size.

Option 1:
- $175k lot located on very busy street but across the street from new $700k townhomes and restaurants

Option 2:
- $250k 3 bed/1 bath fixer upper located at end of dead end street, houses on street all fixer uppers, located down the street from Option 1 (so also near new builds and restaurants)

Does anyone know what a good escalation point would be for a D&I situation that I feel is not being handled in the right way? It seems like the situation is being swept under the rug since technically no “policies” were broken.
