We’re still an ad agency with all of the same stresses, worries, and fires. We still butt heads with account. Clients still need their hands held. We still work weekends and deal with inane revisions for months. We still get our budgets cut and briefs pulled. The only notable difference is that it actually feels like a team effort to try and solve them.
Shared ambition and clarity of mission equates to an unbeatable culture. I never have to stress about anyone’s agenda. Our ship might still sink, but we’ll all go down together.
Sounds like a sound byte from a brand manifesto hehe
An ex colleague who is now a strat at wk told me "people always assume that just because we work here that we can do whatever we want and that clients just spread their legs to us whenever we present any idea. Besides the people, the struggles are just the same" not sure if I buy this but 🤷🏻♀️
“Spread”

I know a lot of people that work at W + K London, so might not be too relevant to you as most people on here are American, but the biggest misconception I can see is that W + K is the promised land where you’re guaranteed to walk away with a portfolio with incredible work. It’s an agency structured like any other, what makes the place extraordinary is the talent, not the name on the door.
From what I’ve heard it’s the opposite. Obviously anybody who works there is talented but from what I understand it’s the process and commitment to a certain level of work (and to only work with clients who agree to that) that makes it great.
I agree with that, the agencies independence makes it special as well - case in point, the entire London office had the day off the other week for the climate strike. I do believe that a commitment to a certain level of work is a consequence of a high level of talent, and that mutual understanding between thus talent there, opposed to doing it in the name of W + K.
