agree. From my experience I’ve also noticed that agencies usually have a shelf life of 10-15 years max. At the start they are the young fashionable agency doing great work. At some point due to a combination of great employees leaving for bigger jobs and the company getting bogged down with stable but boring long term clients, the company dies.
Sometimes they end up cashing out and retiring. Most often they go bankrupt or get bought out by a consultancy looking to brand themselves as fresh.
It’s fun working in ad agencies on the uphill. You’ll be able to do great work and learn how to ruthlessly prioritize quality output. On the downhill it can really corner you with little career growth and little pay.
