Apologies, I’m not NYC-based, so I can’t help. But I just wanted to raise my hand and applaud this request. Totally get it. Good creative work + good person. I think it’s the simplest request in the world, and the fact that it’s so hard to find or even explain says a ton about our industry.

It depends on what you want. The best WLB? The most fun environment? Someone who’s winning all the awards with activations? Making great TV spots? All about the craft? No one does it all.

Look up the work you admire from agencies you admire. Look at the creds. You’ll start to see some commonalities.

Looking for decent people who make good work.

I think you should be more specific as to what you want and the type of work you want to do. In my experience in general, it’s better to go after an agency or account versus an ECD as ECDs and CDs leaves agencies often. Accounts do too. But less so than individuals.

ECDs come in all shapes, sizes and styles. It’s more about the ECDs you’ll mesh best with. Who will bring out your best. Who match your style and personality. Are you pushes to create better work by kindness or competition? Are you a bro or a romantic? Do you think on your feet or need to be grounded to land on great ideas?

Think about what you’re looking for and it will be easier to find an ECD that complements you.
