Which of these would you say an intern would get a lot out of; Innocean, Saatchi, McKinney, West BBDO, David&Goliath, Giant Spoon. I interviewed with a couple of them so far but curious about all of them. I def want to hopefully convert the internship to a job. Crossing my fingers.

Hahah we've def hired a good bit of interns and they do get to do real work, but other shops will prob get you more creative stuff.

Fwiw I’ve heard McKinney is a great place to work

So, LA?
I’d aim for a creative shop. 72, gut, maybe even Deutsch, Chiat or Mal. The rest are one account shops essentially. (Outside GS, but… eh)

If you had to pick from only that list, I’d say GS for the chance work on multiple things, or Saatchi because out of those car agencies they have their shit together the most.

I’ve only worked at one of these, but Giant Spoon probably does the coolest work of the bunch. Granted, every agency depends on the account.

My first job in advertising was at Saatchi; 3-4 people in the entry level pool were interns from the summer before.

I personally don’t recommend staying there for more than 2.5 years unless you really like your team, which unfortunately, isn’t common in the agency space lol

like

Probably BBDO West or Saatchi.

Whichever you feel the most chemistry with. As a junior, you want the place that will advocate for you and put portfolio building opportunities in front of you. People from mediocre agencies who supported them have beat out people from top tiers agencies that left them floundering because of their books.

Avoid Giant Spoon for sure

Avoid, at all costs. It’s a crappy place. David Angelo and Ben Purcell need to go ASAP. Especially, that HR lady.
