My fiancé is applying to grad school in Washington DC, Boston, and Philadelphia. Which of these cities would you recommend from a creative standpoint?

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.

Hi guys
Had a query regarding Salesforce strategy roles.

Is it worth trying for strategy roles after 2 years in Tech Strategy projects at EY ? Or is there something more specific that I should be doing ?

Observed on LinkedIn that generally an MBA from Tier 1 University is the norm.

I am interested to apply to Salesforce in the future, if not now.
