Pros
Lift is one of the best creative shops in town and my favorite to work for! I worked contract and full time with them for over 6+ years. First, this gem of an agency has an amazing client roster! Really diverse, so whether you're in creative or account, you are always building great work for your portfolio here. While I was here, I had the opportunity to work on health & beauty clients, entertainment, tech, and consumer retail. I came away with great work I'm really proud to share. This is in no small part due to the amazing talent the founder and CEO has assembled. Good, hardworking people who you can trust to bring out the best in everyone. And they are fun! I made lifelong friendships here, too. This agency does a great job of maximizing results for clients (which explains why so many stay for so long) and putting out a great creative product. I would work here again in a heartbeat.
Cons
None really. Agency life isn't for everyone, because agencies tend to be held to a higher standard than in-house talent, you really have to develop confidence in your own work and be very diplomatic accepting client feedback. Honestly, all this is very good practice for young professionals starting out, so I recommend giving it a try!
