How do we feel about the culture at FCB/ Area 23 NYC? I know they are doing a lot of hiring right now and I’m curious if anyone has insight. Thanks!

Area23 is all awards, all the time. That is the sole focus of everything that they do. Doesn't matter if the product doesn't exist, won't ever exist, got pulled from the market, or exists but the ad (or "experience") won't actually run anywhere, they will submit it for an award.

So if you want some awards on your resume, go there and try to join the club of the people who get to work on stuff that gets submitted for awards. Then get out before you've completely lost touch with the fact that clients hire agencies to sell their products.

Oh, you’re comically wrong. I just figured you already realized that. Tell Rich we say hi!

Two totally different agencies with different vibes. Area23 has a CCO. FCB health does not. That should tell ya what ya need to know.

What level you looking at

Mid-level AD. I have 2 years in pharma but at an agency that basically felt like a start-up

I worked there for years and it was great! You’ll work really hard but you’ll also work with some of the most capable (and fun) people in the industry hands down. Spoiler alert- seating is an issue though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good luck 💜
