What’s the vibe at Ogilvy in Chicago? Semi-aware of pros and cons at Leo, BBDO, and DDB. But never been super clear on what’s up over there.

Some good teams? All bad? None of the above?

Can def pass my book along if you’re over there and looking for a writer.

You need to find the right team at Ogilvy. Some teams are killing it with work and culture. Long hours are a fact about this industry but all I’ll say is Ogilvy is far better than other agencies. I left a while ago and tbh I regret it. Have been working weekends and so burnt out at my current agency. If you negotiate well at ogilvy take the offer. Unless you want to go in house.

I left several years ago but the culture was pretty bad when I was there-- long hours for everyone, low pay comparatively, no bonuses, morale was bad and people were generally not team players. Other teams might have been different than mine but it was not a great environment for me

Know a few creatives there who are very overworked by leadership they don’t like

It's well past its very old glory days (as are most large agencies). Morale is super low and the culture is non-existent. Mean girl cliques and survival vibes. Despite that, there are some real gems working there. Will they be enough to get everything turned around? I dunno.

Worst agency culture I’ve experienced. Everyone feels so distant. Leaders are fake. The good thing is you work with a lot of smart and talented people though.

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?
