Lots of great talent in ATL spread out across a lot of different agencies. Fitz Co, JWT, BBDO, 22Squared, Moxie, VML and Ogilvy are the majors. Chemistry, Iris, Van Winkle, Brunner, Blue Sky and Momentum are the mids. Plus lots of digital shops like Huge, AKQA, Sapient and Digitas round out the city. Social focused places like Havas (mainly for coke) and Dagger exist. Some decent in-house opportunities as well at KO:OP (Coke’s Agency) Focus Brands, Mailchimp, and Cartoon Network. The city is growing rapidly and the ad scene is getting better thanks to key new biz wins, talent wanting more out of life and the affordability of living in the city. It’s trending up.

Now Fitz&Co maybe the best in Atlanta?

FitzCo is McCann ATL and does fun work. Chemistry is up and coming but not breakthrough yet. 22squared is perpetually ok.

I work for a small agency here and discover new agencies every day. Most of the big shops have a presence here and there are probably a hundred other small agencies with 10-100 employees. Most of the ones mentioned are pretty traditional minded. The smaller or medium sized digital shops might not be where the money is, but it’s where the more innovative work is happening.

100% with you there, ATL has some of the best in the business especially writers because Creative Circus. But mainly due to really smart people wanting the balance so they landed there and stayed.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services.

How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
