Grey and David. MAYBE BBDO.

I’d look into the work these agencies have produced for these clients as well as the ECD, CDs, etc you’d be working under.

Hypothetically depends on the CDs and the accounts you’d be working on.

Go after the people you can learn the most from or the kind of work you want to make. Both is best.

Agency isn’t important. Look at the work that the accounts you’d be assigned to are making and base your decision on that. Past work is the best predictor of future work.

Hypothetically feels like a humble brag. Why would you solicit the advice of strangers who have no context for any accounts or people you’d be working with? We are not impressed. Get offers, compare them, and see which best suits your work style, who you vibe with, and most importantly, what they will pay you.

If you’re leaving portfolio school, you’re a junior.

With that group, you can probably put VMLYR to the side. Then between Grey, BBDO and David it’s all about who your creative boss is. You can make good work at any of those 3 places, but you can also get buried on a bad piece of business at all 3.
