Thoughts in the Martin Agency? They are winning everything but what's it like to work there? Good people? Nice people? Culture?

They’re taking a page out of the Mullen playbook. Kristen is hiring the MVPs from there and PR is a big piece of it. I give them credit; it will work for new business. Let’s see how they deliver on the work.

The design group is excellent - a lot of powerhouses doing great work that no one will see because some (not all) clients don't take risks. I've been here three years and count my lucky stars I get to be here

Can you tell me more about the design group? I live in Richmond and have heard about the design group at Martin but don’t know much about it!

They seem to be great at smoke and mirrors and a lot of rah-rah events that is just trotting out Kristen and her story over and over. The work? Umm, dunno, never seen it or heard it mentioned.

@VP, what seems odd is that you are a VP in this industry and don’t know about one of the most awarded agencies in the US. Geico, Kennedy Museum, Wal-Mart. Oreo, timberland etc.

It’s awesome working here except pay is generally lower than usual and career growth is slow. Richmond is an amazing small city!

Still very much a work in progress but hopefully moving in the right direction. Cavallo is inspiring and Costello is great, but the rest of the leadership group leaves a lot to be desired. The work is OK - flashes of brilliance but otherwise forgettable.
