Not ideal but I’d choose based on which holdco is doing better. For that reason: Leo.

Definitely NOT Ogilvy. It’s all great on paper, but the reality is so different.

These are VERY superficial gauges of whether an agency is good.

Always choose the best ECD not the name of the agency.

Is there an ECD in NY currently? Erm.

Don’t know what discipline you’re in but akqa’s strategy and creative departments are having an exodus that rivals the Israelites leaving Egypt.

Bloom CD gave a one hour presentation on why we should be working weekends and past our allocation. If we strive to “be the hardest working creative in the room” and “hire for character, teach skill later” that will solve our problems.

These three agencies didn’t already merge together?

None of the above

If you’re a “creative:” Whichever one (Leo or Ogilvy) has the most talented-led group and pays you what you’re worth.

AKQA is nothing but a studio at this point. They’re merely pixel pushers.

How’s the Citi account?

Depends on the role/account you’d work on. Ogilvy on Coke is likely better than Leo on Subway etc

Interviewed with Google, Amazon, Cisco, McKinsey, and a few others and every-time there is something that is not a match... are the hiring managers looking for like 100% match?
