As an ATX creative, I’ve found more rewarding work outside of agencies. In-house way always meh to me until I realized Austin agencies were nothing like I was used to in NYC. I just evolved and have been much happier

I have worked for Under Armour for over 2 years and feel more invested than I have at ad agencies for 10 years prior. They are hiring a copywriter on another team right now if in-house interests you. Would be a huge plus if you have UX experience

Preacher.... but to a certain degree. The rest of the agencies are account driven. The CCOs and ECDs in ATX are business leaders w “Creative” in their titles.... Callen is/will be another but all his work is from his Wieden days.

Hence the “but to a certain degree."

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!
