Tomorrow I start a new gig at Tequila - and I'm feeling like its going to be a great move. Coming from companies that might seem worlds apart - In-tellinc and The Necessary Group - they've actually both been awesome for the exact same reason I wanted to work at Tequila - the people, and in particular the boss.
Rob Campbell and Paul Isakson wrote great posts a while back on finding the right agency. Rob says:
"...as much as working for one of the ‘cool agencies’ might sound great, it’s never as good as having a boss who will take you to places you didn’t even know existed."
This is so on point. My past bosses gave me a platform to learn and develop - not just a shitload of work. So in many ways I feel like its been an advantage NOT coming from a big brand agency.
So, joining a smart new team with a great philosophy, beneath a planning boss who I already look up to (all of which just happens to exist inside an agency that's cool as shit), and having already locked in a Monday 10am with one hell of a client, I think this must surely be the next step towards a career that is indeed 'the tits'.
