Thoughts on Ogilvy LA?

Recruiter reached out to me about joining their creative team. Curious if it’s a good place to grow as an art director (orr if its a trap)

Who is the recruiter for Ogilvy LA?

It’s a very small team - lots of room for growth.

I’ve never heard much about their LA office. Actually, didn’t know they had one.

When I worked at ogilvy (left in 2020), the LA office was only PR.

No worries! The LA office didn’t have any creative in it a few years ago. They only focused on public relations.

I was (am?) interviewing there as well. For everyone asking if there is an LA office, they know that’s the sentiment and what I was told is that they want to build it back up into something great. They work out of a We Work office.

I’m glad you asked this because I was wondering too! It seems a bit scary to be part of something that could end up being great or going back to nothing.

There’s an Ogilvy LA?! If so, it’s a tiny satellite

I worked at Ogilvy in a different city for years and never heard of any of LA's work. I did hear oncer that they do a lot of arranging celebrity endorsements. Otherwise, nothing.

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

Q for HR folks! For companies who have offices in US and Canada, how easy would it be for American HR team to set up a role & compensation via the Canadian office for a Canadian remote worker? Would be a lot of work? But i know companies like Meta and Spotify do do this.

I'm Canadian and applied to a US remote role. Canadians don't need a visa for this. One of the ways would be to use Canadian entity's hr/payroll services. They showed keen interested but waned since finding out I'm Canadian.
