AKQA is really the only agency player in the DC market. Apparently the Huge office there is a shit show. Other than that you’re looking at PR or government comms work. NatGeo is headquartered there which could be cool. Boston is probably your best bet though. Best of luck to your fiancé!

Do you know anything about Ogilvy’s DC office? I’ve been curious

Boston has the best schools and the best job market for advertising, but the worst winters.

Wrong. 🤔

In DC, there are small digital shops that do some political / cause work (ex. Blue State Digital) and PR agencies (Ogilvy, Weber Shandwick, Edelman, Flieshman, Golan, GloverParkGroup) that function as ad agencies for some clients - lots of cause and public affairs work if that’s your jam

Huge DC office is solid. 80-90 strong and culture is tight. Excellent mix of clients, produce & marketing teams doing great creative. Legit strat practice. Check it out.

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
