Last I checked Portland had a lot of smaller, pretty dang creative shops. Am I wrong?

Nice! I have the same amount of experience. I want to love to PDX eventually as well, maybe in the next 2 years or so.

There are a LOT of small agencies. You need to get some contacts there. jobs are rarely posted. also has some good recruiting firms. I got a full time job through one when I moved there. Should also say most work is in sneakers (Nike or Adidas)

I know of several open positions - PM me at s.towers@bolywelch.com

Besides my PR work I am also a talent scout and I know of several opportunities here DOE. Contact me if you would be open to a conversation.

I'm curious too. I'm in pharmaceutical advertising working for NYC agency but live in Portland. I am curious if I will ever get to see anyone in person ever again haha. I am permanently remote unless I want to move to creative agency.
