What agencies are good for/ open to non-German speakers? Really interested in moving to Berlin but don't speak German :/

many of the bigger agencies that manage international accounts. Berlin is the right place, it's much more international than German advertising capital Hamburg. I don't know if they are looking right now, but you might want to check out Antoni, JvM/Spree and Havel, Scholz & Friends, and Heimat. Maybe La Red, too. And of course the international networks: BBDO, DDB, Ogilvy, RGA, AKQA, Anomaly.

Adding to the previous poster: international digital agencies tend to be more non-German speaker friendly than "traditional" German ones. Obviously there are exceptions but it's both what I was told before coming here and what I found in practice.

BTW my agency is looking for international people, DM if interested.
