Do other agencies have a “no hiring people from Vayner” policy or is my inability to land a new job just because I suck?

If creative, book wins every day. That said, I'd question why someone had to take a job at vayner. There's no ban. But a certain hesitation? Sure.

Area23?

I’ve never heard of this. I believe it’s probably harder for Vayner alumni to find a job if they are a creative. However, people in the media department have had no issues.

Drop your book in the book review bowl to find out.

I think less of Mr peanut and vayner. But yah, sure, we talked about it. 🙄

I’m a strategist but it’s literally the first thing anybody ever asks me about in interviews and it was three jobs ago.

Read above

it’s an agency built on creating a lot of decent creative for low cost in areas most creative agencies ignore. but GV is building up agency clout to make super bowl ads, which are his only shot at what people call “great creative” these days. it’s not an agency you’re gonna leave being able to pick your next job, but it’s one that you’ll leave getting a new perspective on the industry from, so use that to woo a new employer if you get an interview.
