1. “Lifer” agencies. You know, the ones in remote locales away from the diversity of big cities. Family vibes leads to looking for “culture fits” in interviews. (Martin Agency, GSD&M, Richards Group, CP+B Boulder...) W+K Portland is the exception, because it made conscious effort to recruit and retain POCs to PDX from the jump.

2. Small agencies. Founded by 4 white guys. Recruit their friends. Not big enough to be under scrutiny of holding company quotas

CPB Boulder is the whitest agency in America.

CPB Boulder has always been the epicenter of toxic bro culture in this industry. Pretty sure they invented the current strain we are all suffering through because the people that worked there in the glory days migrated and spread the toxic-bro behavior to the rest of the industry. Like bro-herpes.

Well most agencies are not culturally or racially diverse OR ideologically. It’s weird. Can we have it all?

Jacobson Rost in Chicago/Milwaukee was a nightmare. Conservative ideologies, white male dominated, the two people of color on staff were underpaid and largely ignored. Worst stint ever.

Interviewing with a company I’m excited about and they requested to have the next level (I believe final level) be pushed to the second week of January since they’re team is overwhelmed. I agreed and suggested times and am waiting to hear back. Meanwhile I had another company reach out this past week for a role I’m less excited over. They’ve already reached out for my final interview round this week. I already disclosed that I’m waiting to hear from a company I’ve been interviewing with. Cont’d.

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions.

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
