Give me your thoughts, fish friends —
1: Who has a respectable account department nowadays in the Bay Area?
1.5: Generally, who is doing good work, good culture, etc.
2: Best sushi?

We have a ton of new work. AORs. Pitches for Super Bowl spots and new framework for leadership. The cynical jaded grumpy leftovers are almost all gone. 👋

Hiring mid/senior creatives?

I have only worked at a couple agencies in SF but my perception based off of people I know and what I have heard is that Goodby and Venables are where it’s at. Mekanism also seems to be winning some cool accounts and doing good work. Also, I don’t think SF is a great sushi city for your everyday sushi spots. Elephant is probably my fav. All the good ones are super expensive, fine dining places.

+1 to Elephant. And I heard Mekanism is hiring

Context is, it’s my time to start networking to find the next great thing here. Hoping you all have some insight into where a mid-level account person would be impactful.

Plus, haven’t yet found a sushi place I love.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)
