ACDs at BBDO NY are just Sr. Creatives and the CDs serve as ACDs with maybe 2-3 teams under them. Not sure how it works at Saatchi. Salary being equal, pick the best account/ECDs to work under.
There’s one guy in strategy who’s been promoted at least 3-4 times, almost every year (or less than that). Guessing he’s an anomaly but still impressive/wild.
Go for the money and title. Being a CD in NYC opens a lot of doors no matter what you want to do in the future. And your book matters less.
PREACH
At this level, your post looks more like bragging than looking for thoughts, so looks like you are ready for CD.
You must know it has everything to do with the account

Dont ever work at a creative agency under Publicis Groupe if you’re a creative.
Definitely BBDO, much better creative leadership under Lubars. Saatchi is mostly bad work with the exception of 1 Tide commercial a year. Lovely, nice people at that agency but they are an account-led shop, not a creative-led one.
Working under Lubars ain’t what it used to be.
It depends on the account at each agency.
Are you telling me you have two offers?! I can’t get even get a rejection email. What’s your secret?
To answer: CD at Saatchi. The client is irrelevant, in my opinion. BBDO is a lateral move. Who knows how long before you get another promotion offer. Take the money, you can always jump ship to something better but with a CD title now.
Where will you make the best work? Forget titles. From where I’m sitting it’s BBDO
being an ACD blows but you have to think BBDO is the obvious choice. unless you’re working on Tide or something maybe
BBDO is a notoriously hard place to get promoted —if you start as an ACD, you should expect to remain there for a long time
CD you will really manage more and guide the work. ACD you’ll still be a worker bee on it I’d imagine. Take the CD role because it comes with more autonomy and money.
Neither, if you have to ask
Wish I was an ACD...

CD. Will unlock CD roles for you at better agencies in the future. I found the jump form ACD to CD the hardest one so take it if you were offered it!!

I think it’s one that you have the prove the most for. I’m not sure how to really describe it other than it’s the hardest jump to prove to HR and leadership-wise — that you deserve this promotion (vs AD to Sr AD to ACD etc) because of the pay jump, the weight of responsibility that comes with the title, overall external representation of the ability of the creative team as a CD. It’s highly competitive/sought after and overall less roles of them across industries.
What clients and how much money?

😂
Take the CD title and start looking for a new gig in 6 months.
Go where you’ll make the better work.
Curious, which account at Saatchi?
Probably a P&G client
Creative director at agency or creative director in house?
Saatchi NY is where Publicis Groupe is housing their P&G brands. Go for the work-life balance and nice people, but don’t expect work for your portfolio.

Publicis sucks for both creative strategists and CDs. Bbh ny is more of the same.
