Husband and I are considering a move to Dublin to raise our son near his family. He’s Irish, I’m American. I’ve lived / worked in London and NYC.

Pandemic hellscape aside, what agencies or companies are sought after? Trying to figure out the landscape as we evaluate job opportunities and long term planning.

What kind of agency are you looking to join? There's one agency (Rothco) that are something like 150 people. They do international work (they launched White Claw) and win lions regularly.

Then there's a 2nd tier of agencies like Boys and Girls, Publicis, JWT, BBDO, TBWA, Huskies that are smaller (anywhere between 40-80 people) but are good too.

After that there are startup agencies, The Public House, 10th Man and Acne are all promising but quite small.

Hugely helpful - thank you so much Copywriter! I’ve worked at big network agencies and small independent firms, so I’m open to either as long as the culture isn’t churn and burn.
Also open to client side or working with platforms, but I might have to work towards that once I’m on the ground. Thank you again!

No worries. The tech firms are all trying to hire agency people too so give them a look too.

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me.

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k.
