In what order would you place the most creative agencies in Austin?

You’ll probably get a lot of different opinions on this, depending on what kind of creative you’re looking for. But I’d bet most of them will be some version of “Preacher, Callen, everyone else.”

Not to say that there aren’t a ton of different interesting shops in town, but those two tend to make most of the headlines when it comes to conventional agency creative.

Preacher does a lot of awesome design work and they pride themselves on a swanky office and cool art gallery.

I’ve seen Callen do some fun, more activation/stunty work that’s pretty creative in my books. Also working with Craig would be a good experience I’d bet.

GSD&M is the big agency in town, definitely more traditional in a sense that they mostly do TV/video work but some accounts do some interesting interactive pieces too.

McGarrah Jessee used to be the design shop in town. Their work for Shiner and Yeti was some of the best, but they have been radio silent for the last four years or so aside from some decently funny spots for GameStop.

Would honestly only consider Callen. Depends on what kind of work you want to do, though.

Agree. Everything I’m learning about them and their work is interesting.

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

How do you get out of the burnout cycle? I’ve felt overwhelmed for a while and now I’m in the “can’t function at all” stage. It’s so hard explaining this to my manager because I already have a workload that’s lighter than others (not because of performance or my request). Any tips on how to get re-engaged, since the overwhelming feeling will come back?

I have come for RTO after withdrawing resignation only to hear from the security guard that I'm TERMINATED from client end! I have not received a single mail on it. Rather, Accenture retained me for the same client's project. My AVP, Manager, HR all aware. They are telling I'm on Accenture payroll. I got a re on-boarding email from client end today too. What's going on?
