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.
