Junior designer here looking to connect with some Philly-area shops— I’m from the area and have recently been trying to learn more about the local agency scene. Would love it if people could drop some names or even some recruiter info. Thanks!!

Philly isn't really a recruiter town. Agencies and people are far more accessible than some other markets. I haven't worked there in years, but hopefully this helps:

AGENCIES
RTO+P
Traditional advertising

160/90
Acquired by Excenture, Philly office focuses on a academic and sports marketing

1 Trick Pony
Kickass design/branding with a mix of traditional social and digital advertising

Quaker City Mercantile
World class spirits branding and design shop

Philly also has a very active Art Directors/One Show Club. They host events all the time and it's a great way to get to know people.

Happy to help. Just putting the goodness out there. We could all use a little more of it this year. I listed out design heavy shops, but there's more options as well:

Brownstein Group
Tierney
Mod Worldwide
A&G
D4 Creative
Chatterblast
Famehouse
And lots of pharma

And if anyone has any NYC leads for an ACD writer, hit me up with some goodness of your own.
