not sure about working there but the CCO is scary af…did a review for me once and told me to “consider a different career…” Granted it was one of my first reviews and I’ve since gotten a lot better

I work there but not in the media group. I left and then came back because I liked the culture so much.

The media group operates a bit separately from the creative group, kinda like its own media company, but the agency as a whole is wonderful.

Ask for a dumb amount. They’ll put golden handcuffs on you.

There’s some growing pains as the agency gets folded into the S4/Mediamonks superstructure, but I think it’s worth it.

Feel free to ask me more questions! I’d be happy to talk about it.

Can’t speak for Salary today. Was there pre pandemic. If they pay well it is due to their media income and it helps pay for the entire company. You’ll regret not asking for more if you end up joining. The entire c suite is what makes the culture unfortunately, and there is no one at that level who is likable. Felt like “get out”. I smiled and made money and haven’t thought about them since.

Coming from someone who knew…. Director 1 had no idea how they make money. Nice group of people, too.

Sure, they make money many ways. It’s truly telling that was the focus of your response!!! Not. The rot that are those humans. Are they still as offensive as they ever were? Or are you just not aware, and therefor can’t speak on it!!

It’s a nice place with a good culture and sick benefits. I’m sorry for what the CCO said to JAD1 - he’s def an atypical kinda guy but I’m a fan.

Atypical? What a cop out BS response.

I hear really good things about them. They have a reputation for providing wlb and having good culture. I think they offer great benefits as well.
