Dentsu has an office in San Fran. Wouldn’t call it a best place to work. But it’s out there.

funny

how about any places in the bay area

I don’t know about best places to work, but there’s a few agencies left (Goodby, Pereira Odell, BSSP, Barrett) and then there are some brands (largely tech) with their own internal creative teams. (Airbnb, Pinterest, Google to name a few.) It’s hard to break in on either side unless you are top talent with a strong cv or know people at these places.

In no particular order:

Goodby Silverstein
Venables Bell
Butler, Shine, Stern
Barrett Hofherr
Pereira O’Dell
Argonaut
BBDO

And never call it San Fran.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
