Is there anyone at DDB SF that would be willing to answer some Q’s for me? I applied for the AD position and would love to have an insider’s perspective!

I interviewed there a couple years back and got an offer, I turned it down but not because of the place. (I wanted to leave SF and was enjoying freelance at the time)

The office is small, the people are all nice, it seems like they’re honestly trying to do good work and build a good agency. I think it’s a solid shop for a junior trying to get into the agency world and get a book piece or two.

Keep in mind this was 2-3 years ago and it could be different but that’s my opinion. Hope it helps.
